Hi all, Recently came across this interesting piece of history. Would like to do a cosmetic restoration before attempting to get it working. Has anyone restored one of these, in particular, the right color brown for the case. Cosmetically there is little rust on the outside of the metal cabinet. Most of the paint is gone. A few spots still have the original paint. It is hard to tell if the paint was smooth or a wrinkle finish. The bottom inside of the case is quite rusty-maybe from spillage of the borax and water solution from the 4 jars? Thinking of trying muriatic acid and a wire brush to clean the inside. The brown bakelite panel insert is in very good shape. Should clean up nicely. Any thoughts? Thanks, Ken Kidd
