We bought a Philco 40-195 today. I paid $33, as the sellers, a nice young couple, had no other takers. It has some spots of missing lacquer on the top, and scratches in the lacquer (not all the way into the wood) on one side. I don't know how much of it is "photofinish."

I think I will try touching up the lacquer and using Howards finish restorer on it. Any precautions or tips?
