I have a nice little Zenith in a bakelite cabinet, cabinet is solid but has 2 issues.

Paint dots spattered on a good portion of the top, may be oil based. I have removed these before with warm soapy water and a soft brush, not coming off this time. Suggestions?

Also kind of a gummy stuff, adhesive maybe, on a couple of spots, thinking of using Goo Gone. Anyone have any experience with that stuff.

Cabinet is brown bakelite.

Thanks.

Paul
