I took it apart, blew all the dust out and grabbed the Naval Jelly. I also got some GOJO Creme Hand Cleaner and started cleaning the cabinet. I say it did excellent at getting all the crap off the veneer. I put Naval Jelly all over the chassis to get the rust off and otherwise clean it. Somebody replaced the 84 Rectifier with a 5Y3 along with the whole transformer. I hope that won't be a problem - it would not be easy sorting through some radio repair guy's handiwork. The electrolytics will need to be replaced - they are oozing some chalky white stuff. Does anyone have any tips for that? I will be ordering new push buttons and rubber feet from Renovated Radios as soon as possible.
