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.
