RCA 56X5
#6

I have been doing a basic freshening up of the cabinet. I cleaned it well with Goop, and found that once clean, and while still wet from the Goop, the cabinet actually looked pretty good. That told me that, once it dried, a couple of coats of tung oil would bring the finish back to looking pretty acceptable. So, that is what I did. I rubbed on a thin coating of tung oil and let it dry. In a couple of places the old finish was a little checked, so I then sanded it with 400 grit paper, and then wiped on another coat. The cabinet is again drying, and looks quite acceptable, not like new, but like a well kept, and much used antique. I forgot to take any before pictures of the chassis this time, but dove right in. Here is a picture of the completed chassis as it stands tonight, new back and all...
