Hi, new to this forum and collecting radios too.  I just purchased a Philco 39-6 which is in mint condition.  I haven't received it yet but anxiously waiting for it.  I also purchased a Philco #27-11279-1 Q967.  It has been checked and is in good working condition.  Obviously I want to clean it up and restore the cabinet.  Suggestions?  I do have some questions.

1. What year is it from and is the model number correct?  It's been difficult finding information on it.
2.  Should the knobs simply pull off.  I haven't tried yet but don't want to damage them.
3.  For cleaning the face I've seen different suggestions.  Please weigh in.  Is white vinegar, cotton balls, and q-tips a good starting point?
4.  Any other suggestions?   I've refinished wood and cabinetry below, but will listen to any suggestions.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
