Last week I stopped in to a local shop that usually has a few old radios. I saw this one and got it for $12 (down from $20).

It's dirty, but appears to be intact and I hope to be able to clean it up and use it as a daily driver after refurb. The Photo Gallery blurb on this radio says it has a leatherette cover. What is leatherette, i.e. what is it made of? I'm sure it isn't real leather, but is it rubber or some kind of synthetic material?

Also, what is the best way to clean up leatherette without damaging it?

Thanks
Jon
