Philco 20 Baby Grand Movie Star!
#19

John,
Being a big fan of "the GoJo Treatment", I considered what that would do to the finish. It looks like they brushed on the gold and some areas have aged differently than others, most likely due to a second coat in those areas. I feel that I might change the remaining finish for the worse, if I try any cleaning with more than a moist cloth. The gold has darkened with the past 85+ years and looks great in person. I cleaned some tiny white paint dots from a long ago ceiling paint job in a room where this thing sat. Other than a better speaker cloth, I think I'll leave it as it sits.
Steve
