What was it with off-white painting jobs on old radios? I have an oldtimer working with me, also an EE, and he showed me a photo of his youth where he is about 15 and stands leaning against an old floor Philco painted all white.

Did the natural finishes at some poit start getting out of fashion so people felt compelled to paint over when maybe doing renovations at their places?

Looks stupid too!
