Dave,
Thanks for that link--I found it interesting, since I have never "done woodwork", and still don't know the first thing about it ! Ron Rich

Jens system is safer, it's an established woodworking practise, impossible
to screw up (we let school kids use this tool) it won't affect the existing
color of your juke, makes a very small amount of dust. The worst you can do
is burn your thumbs by going to hard at it.

Don,
I prefer to refinish an empty cabinet, but it can be done the way you are
describing.
Go slow and work small areas - this will minimize the amount of 'mess'
and
rinse that you need to use at any one time.
Bix is a gel and thick enough to paint on accurately.
Stock up on wiping rags and paper towels. Go especially slow at the edges
of the cabinet.
I've successfully used a water based polyurethane (semigloss) and I choose
a
walnut stain.
Staining is a wiping and timing process - and the final color depends on
the
amount of time it's allowed to penetrate and number of applications.
The final color comes down to your personal requirements.
If this is the first time you've done refinishing... you might want to
start
on something besides your juke to get a 'feel' for it. An old table or
radio?
If that's not an option for you, do some research on the web. There are a
lot of refinishing resources!
Finally, if you take care... you'll find that it is a relatively simple
(and
enjoyable) process.
Jeff
