1) So how to tell if a machine is a candidate for this? If it is any color other than black, it isn't. If it is black, dampen a rag or Qtip with a little bit of denatured alcohol and dab it somewhere that won't show, such as on the back under the motor mounting; if the finish softens, it's shellac and could benefit.
