Quoted from loomis:Well guys, a few of these replies showed up *after* I got the front panel off pretty cleanly and took it to a local cabinet maker and asked them to just duplicate the panel in every way. They'll call me and let me know what they think. We shall see...

Just curious what one charges for a new front panel.
Quoted from loomis:Having to used a ton of paint stripper to strip the cabinet, as I'm trying avoid sanding as much as I can, ya know lead paint. Anyoo, yeah they did a nice job for sixty bucks. Thanks.
Use some acetone. The paint scrapes right off.
But the nice thing about using acetone is the paint slides right off leaving near bare wood. The when you're sanding, you're just sanding wood. No paint dust everywhere. No clogged sandpaper.
Paint stripper is typically nasty to work with and leaves a mess. Acetone is much simpler to work with, evaporates 100% and is cheap.
I can't take all of the credit though. Jeff Miller at Pinball Pimp posted this a few months ago as a way to avoid sanding.
