When I brought this 610B home I posted a couple pics . Now that I've finished the chassis (which went smoothly and has better reception than anything else I've worked on so far) I started cleaning up the cabinet. I thought this was an original finish until I looked a little closer. Now I'm thinking it may be the original finish with some extra lacquer or shellac added.... Here's a closer look at the side where it sure looks like someone added something to the finish ...or did they sometimes come from the factory with drips? There are also some very dark finish areas and much lighter areas like something was stripped but not completely? Thoughts?
