Chassis Detailing or not
#1

After browsing around today at Kutztown I saw several beautifully restored radios of various makes. One thing I noticed was all of them had chassis that although electrically restored, cosmetically seemed untouched. Other than a dusting and cleaning they were pretty much as found. I have seen many people that take it a step further on the internet in that they paint their chassis to make them like new. My question is how do you all feel about how far a chassis should be taken?
