Glass dial & metal backpane cleaning? (Philco 47-1230)
#4

The glass cleaned easily. No big surprise.

The metal backplate, however, seems to be a bit more difficult.

I am uncertain if its a brownish finish (paint?) that was eaten by time, or if the finish was supposed to be metal and just oxidized. Maybe someone with more knowledge of those radios (Ron?) would know..?

I am really tempted to just sand it down and refinish it. Question is, what is the correct finish, anyway?
