I like the Howard products, they are very easy to apply and do a great job. They are discussed in the Cabinet Restoration section often.

I don't normally restore radio's, I mainly do tube equipment for stereos. I have a Dynaco ST 70 amplifier and Dynaco PAS 2 pre-amp that I recapped and use as part of my 2 channel stereo system. I have plenty of projects but little time to work on them. I have my Dad's first "hi-fi" which is an old Philco with a built in record player that I would like to restore on day.

I decided to paint the metal trim around the dial on the 40-180 since it looked worn compared to the rest of the radio.
