TBH the dark varnish was so tatty & falling off in places, the only option was to remove it but I've left it in the grooves of the two front upright panels as a mark to its heritage as it were.

I can find no definite information as to whether they were varnished or left as plain wood, some say they were, others say they weren't. Perhaps this was down to which manufacturer & what was available at the time?

Glowing Bits!:
That at least is good to know! A quick check with the meter showed it was reading roughly what was expected as did the mains transformer, phew!
