The interior of a cabinet for any radio is generally shot with a coating of tinted lacquer, as the exterior of the set was done in. Cleaning out the cabinet is usually a long drawn out task, because of the dirt and grunge that has settled in it. I usually use Go-Jo to get it clean, then dry sand it with #400 wet-dry paper. The surface is always rough, and the sanding is already a big improvement. Once nice and clean, and before I complete the outside, I shoot a clear lacquer coat or two inside. It's amazing how nice some cabinets come out on the interior. That's better than they were, coming off the assembly line, but a look into the back of the set shows a very pleasing job.
