The radio was from my father and sat next to my bed for several years in the 1960s. I'm 64 now. I don't collect radios, this one is particularly valuable to me. If I ever get settled down I might start collecting, but like most older people I'd have to find more horizontal spaces in the house to place new stuff. I went and bought some Mohawk color wax sticks a few days ago before your comment. Had seen someone say they could melt different colors of small amounts and mix a filler for the flecked areas. Could send them back (Amazon) when I get them. What do you think? On the process you described, sanding sealer first and then sanding? I've never refinished wood before. What type of sanding sealer (or is there just one type)? Sanding sealer, sand, touch up flecks, more sealer? Could you give me a step by step and comment on use (or not) of wax filler?
