What is the best product to use on old leather/Cowhide cases? I have seem some portable tube radios with these cases and, of course, early transistor radios. What got me thinking about this is the Magnavox Envoy transistor radio I decided to try out today. Got it basically for free in a box of parts I bought ages ago and it's been a shelf queen ever since as the case is hard and it is missing a knob bright. Still, a new battery and a shot of control cleaner brought this crazy thing back to life! So, even though it's not in perfect shape, I'd like to try and keep it from getting worse. At least I would like to use something where the back 'hinges' for the battery and chassis access.
No matter where you go, there you are.
