Restoring a Vintage Cedar Chest : DIY Tips & Tricks

I've refinished some pretty derelict pieces in the last few years, but what about the ones that aren't "terrible", but still need some attention. This cedar chest needed a partial refinish, and a partial finish rework. And if you have a Lane cedar chest, you're going to want to know about these locking mechanisms.
