That link led to an Easter basket listing of everything available on the market. Which of them are you recommending, Señor Denver?

Anyway....i'd certainly try restoring the original finish before anything else. If it was my radio I know I could and would. Some folks want it to look brand new. I can do that too but I'd prefer not to. Its an old radio and only needs to be made presentable and keep the wife off your back Icon_smile .

Clean/wax would be my choice.
