BLAST! Someone (presumably the same heathen who painted it black) has in fact sanded the face plate.

You can see the sanding marks, and this is a low-res photo. (The lower right corner has been attacked with a wire wheel and a Dremel moto-tool.) BUT... on the inner ring of the dial hole, the original Philco gold shines through and gives me something to shoot for! (And I suppose I ought to mount the new buttons while the face plate's off--at least make it LOOK good.  )
So, ladies and gentlemen, does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the sanding skid marks off my escutcheon? (Now I'm wishing I'd picked up that one I saw on eBay for $1...  )
