removing scratches

[bevis@apg.ph.ucl.ac.uk (Bevis Peters)]

I'm looking to buy an organ who's case is not in good nick; it's covered
in hundreds of scratches (just scratches, really), as though it had had a
lot of sharp metal things dragged over it over the years (1937). Can anyone
recommend a way of getting rid of these? Or do I need to sand off the
surface and redo it all? I'd like to judge how much work I'd need to do
before I buy it.

         {      }       Since I gave up hope, I feel much better.
