Picked this up Friday. See http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=9076

Posting before and after GoJo photos. There will be more cosmetic and electrical restoration over this summer. I had to clean it up enough to keep it in with the general population in the house..

Well, the difference is clearly visible and I think the finish is good enough to be kept.
Nice animal.

GoJo is a good way to clean your decent original finish. After it dries, you rub down the cabinet with a clean cloth and then apply a polish of your choice.
