How do I remove old layers of paint to get down to the original plaster walls?

That's a tall order. I really don't think you're going to be able to do it. Of course if you have months and months of time and forearms of steel for the sanding you could probably do it, but you'd be left with a less than desireable surface.

I'm curious; what is your goal in attempting it?
