Stripping?

[mtt.tr]

I'd strip it sand it and live with it a while....can always add something later on if the need arises....theres no rush.

In my house reinstating that to functioning condition would most likely end with me wearing a cup of tea

Never sand unless you really have to. Quickest way to kill authentic aging that can not be recreated.

Never sand unless you really have to.

That's good to know

I think it would go unanswered

If a bell tinkles in the kitchen and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?
