Unknown Gilfillan Model
#5

The 1st thing I did was pull the internals out, and give the cabinet a rubdown. I use a cleaner/wood preserver my Mom gave me. It's Touch of Bees Wax with Orange Oil. It cleans things up nicely.  Icon_biggrin
Then I changed out the grill cloth. It got some interesting comments from a couple folks over at the Antique Radios Facebook Group. I had used this cloth in my Philco 84B, originally, and then found a pattern closer to original, and swapped it out. I saved it and decided it would look OK in this one.  Icon_thumbup
