Ok, that makes sense.  The reason I asked is I have used liquid gold to restore the original finish on my 1862 pump organ.  I had no plans to refinish it, just make it look better.  Same goes for this radio.  The finish is good enough original to leave it that way.  Its only original once, as we say in the antique bike world.  My friend who restores and fixes old grandfather clocks for a living suggested I use Old English but I am guessing that probably has silicon too?
