Ok, here she is:
I used a small wire wheel on the Dremel to clean the metal parts. I used Tolex glue from AES to reglue the loose places. Then, I finished it off with several coats of black shoe polish In the last pic it is testing an 80 globe. This was my first attempt at restoring a tolex covered cabinet. Not perfect, but it does present well for a 60 year old tube tester. I would certainly want to practice on some junk cabinets before I would try to recover anything worth anything, and this glue is hard on paint brushes!
