I am not peeved enough to try Syl's test so I went with Bill's. Sho 'nuff it's bakelite.
Thanks for the offer Syl, but I think I will stick with just this one for now. I tried rubbing
the case with Brasso and then soaked it in Glayzit and polished vigorously. Neither
worked well. It has sort of a feathered oxidation look all over. What next? I have some
Mother's Mag polish. Yes? Novus 3-2-1 ?
