I finally finished rubbing out the finish and assembled the radio Icon_smile

I used Behlen Deluxing compound for the final step.

The speaker mounted screws were painted with Rustoleum Dark Walnut gloss enamel. It's the closest I've found the the original color.

Someday I'll get around to replacing the grille cloth.

Soaked the knobs in diluted, warm dishwashing liquid to remove years of crud.
