Got this early 70 recently and just finished detailing the cabinet. It has a beautiful original finish! I can't imagine a nicer original 70 out there! I did the Gojo clean-up (it had a dark grunge all over it), with a quick wipe-down of Howards. When that dried, I waxed it with Johnson's Paste Wax. Very happy with how it came out. I only wish I could do the chassis too, but my 1st grade electronics knowledge won't allow that.....
I've added a photo of the bottom of the cabinet. It shows a date stamp of SEP 17 '8. I didn't know they were building these models that early (1928). Could this cabinet be a leftover for an earlier model?
