Hi /diy/, I'm restoring an Edison chippendale diamond disc phonograph. I sanded it, and now i'm trying to clean off the wood with a damp rag, but it keeps picking up lots of green stuff that smells like paint, even though the player itself isn't green. My question is, is this varnish or "shellac" or something, and how much of this should I try to get off?

varnish or shellac or any sort of finish is not generally something that wipes off with a damp rag, meaning water. As long as the finish doesn't look any worse keep wiping until the "lots of green stuff" is wiped off. If you start changing the appearance in an undesirable way then maybe you should not wipe any more and go to the next step in your restoration project.
