If it were my choice, the option to repaint wou!d mean rebuilding the cabinet from the ground up, New paint, etc..... That is only if it is a forever keeper, as the value is pure labor of love. The other would be just to enjoy it as it is, or sell it off to someone who appreciates it as it is. There is really no middle ground on a machine of this vintage
Quoted from PM_Jeremy:Strip and repaint unfortunately
That's still not enough. The damage to the wood is much further than just the surface. Strip and repaint and it may not last very long before that paint peels or the cab separates. That's why I suggested a complete cab rebuild..
