Hi, new to this forum and collecting radios too. I just purchased a Philco 39-6 which is in mint condition. I haven't received it yet but anxiously waiting for it. I also purchased a Philco #27-11279-1 Q967. It has been checked and is in good working condition. Obviously I want to clean it up and restore the cabinet. Suggestions? I do have some questions.
1. What year is it from and is the model number correct? It's been difficult finding information on it.
2. Should the knobs simply pull off. I haven't tried yet but don't want to damage them.
3. For cleaning the face I've seen different suggestions. Please weigh in. Is white vinegar, cotton balls, and q-tips a good starting point?
4. Any other suggestions? I've refinished wood and cabinetry below, but will listen to any suggestions.
