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!

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.These are the links to a great cleaning tutorial on this forum.
