I'm in the "do not strip" group. It has very pretty gold on it and you would lose all of that. I would do as others have said and just find it a new home as it. Stripping and refinishing is a huge project and since you destroy the original finish of the machine it may or may not add value. The wood could be redone but you probably won't recoup enough to make it worthwhile. I'd just clean and oil the machine and do as Mickey says to the wood.
