There is a tute on the tutorial thread how to refinish cabinets. Just look around and ask questions and you will get good answers.

The cabinet cleaned up nicely with just a little Formby's (though my neighbor, who does a lot of woodworking, said it would be cheaper and just as effective to use denatured alchohol). We polished the wood using Howard's Feed'n'Wax-was easy, clean and smelled good while I was working on it! We found the manual online, and for $5.00 we found a site that let us download a repair manual. Have fun!

Thank you!!!! I know mine is a G series but where can I find the model number like 27/28 or 127/128? I will definitely check out the sites you posted. Good luck with your new home!!! I know you are anxious to get into it!

There were a bunch of sphinx models from what I saw on the internet so it could be a 27/28 or 127/128 and I think there was even a 15 version.

Yes, I would like to return it to it's natural glory..hopefully, I won't have to strip it.
