Any recommendations on Stripping "Brand" for refinishing?

I have been tinkering around with some off brand models before moving on the high end machines with Citrus-Strip. Before anybody freaks out, the particular machines I have attempting to strip are the DARK black finishes, you know the type - looks like they came out of barn or attic, or somebody put them out for trash, as black as an appliance - no sign of wood grain underneath, but I know its down there somewhere, LOL.
These are rough machines that would otherwise be relegated for parts or thrown away by unknowing collectors or enthusiasts. They are perfect experiment pieces!!
Here is my question: What BRAND do you guys recommend for stripping? I haven't been thrilled with Citrus Strip so far. It doesn't seem to touch that dried out black finish. Sometimes it dries if I don't get to it quick enough and it's worse than when I started.
I am an amateur, go easy on me - thoughts??? The phonographs in question are 1918 - 1926 typical off brand models.
