Welcome to the Phorum! :wave:
Many have good luck with cleaning dirt off with GoJo (without the pumice). Cabinets were originally toned with a toning laquer and then coated with clear lacquer. Some folks use Howards RestoreAFinish to help refresh the finish but it will not replace lost lacquer. Others will have other thoughts. I usually buy radios that need a total refinish.
Most pholks on this Phorum would encourage you to put a restored 38-12 chassis into it but its your radio. Hope your cabinet turns out well!
