Console cabinet cleaning
#1

Hey guys-

I was lucky enough to find a 38-690 and a 40-180 recently, which I purchased. Both have been sitting in a barn for some time and Id like to get the accumulated dirt and grime off the cabinet exteriors. They are both pretty dirty and until I get them cleaned, dont want to do any oiling, waxing or etc. I have heard that gojo works, but am wondering if it leaves any residue behind and what else you folks might have discovered. If you recommend gojo do you have any special tips or technique for applying it or removing it? I dont want to damage these fine old radio sets. thank you for the help.
