'73 - '74 dash sold, also woodcraft question

[Richard.R.Olson@tc.faa.gov (Richard R Olson)]

     Listers,
     
     First, the dash was sold within 2 hours of posting to the list(s).  
     Isn't the 'net wonderful!
     
     Second, I like to thank scott s. and john t. among others, who 
     noticed that I totally screwed up describing the wiper switch 
     holes.  Yes, the '73 - '74 has a ROUND wiper hole, while my '72 has 
     a rectangular hole (damn'd single speed wipers!).
     
     Woodcraft 101 question:
     Now, can somebody recommend a way to remove the yellowed, peeling 
     shellac?/varnish on my '72 dash so I can refinish it.  There's no 
     damage to the underlying wood veneer and I don't want to have to 
     scrape it.  Also accepting suggestions on what is good to finish it 
     with.... re-shellac, poly ?
     
     thanks,
     Rick Olson
