    She did send pics but they are not clear enough to really get any detail. It was clear enough to see the decals are in excellent condition and she is holding the machine for me so I hate to bug her. She bought the machine purely for the cabinet and knows nothing about the machine itself. I had to tell her where to look for the number. Looking at machine pictures online it looks like a model 15 possibly.

    If I knew what the name of the machine was I might could help you. I have lots of Serial numbers/dates and records from different manufacturers on my laptop I might have what you need.

You can test the finish by using alcohol on the old finish in a spot that can not be seen readily. If it desolves the finish after a minute of rubbing then it is shellac. If not it is lacquer or varnish. Lacquer can be desolved with acetone. If these two products don't desolve the finish then you have varnish. After stripping and staining you can use any one of the three for final finish. I recommend you use shellac for ease of use and dries to touch in 30 min or less so does not collect dust in wet finish. Lacquer is to difficult for the home owner to use and for health reasons.

    If you want to restore instead of refinishing we will tackle this as need arises to repair a bad spot. This tut will be never ending because there are so many types of repair so will handle this by your questions as they come up. Glenn
    Thank you Glenn!
