Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone has had experience stripping the paint from a factory painted Sobellette 439 radio. Does the paint come off easily?
I've tried removing the paint on some Australian painted bakelite radios and the job was impossible. The paint had been baked on and would not succumb to stripper.
Thanks
Peter
