Skeptical?
I was too.
Will try the wax treatment and send a pic of the finished cabinet.
Sure was easier than stripping and re-finishing.
Seems that alot of people prefer the original finish and think the radio is not worth as much all dolled up with a better than new finish.

I prefer the original finish if it is close to perfect. Otherwise, prices on E-pay would suggest that a nicely refinished radio is worth more than a rough one.

Tong oil will give the same results. Time will require additional applications as the original finish continues to deteriorate. Also a topical coat such as you are using may penetrate cracks in the finish resulting in streaking as it penetrates the wood under the original finish.

What is better than new anyway?
