You could paint the tube shields with Krylon Satin Nickel. No, it isn't original, but looks better than green...or aluminum spray paint Icon_thumbdown ...plus, Satin Nickel is conductive so a shield sprayed with Satin Nickel will still act as a shield. Icon_thumbup

What sort of polish did you try on the aluminum IF and RF transformers? Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish is wonderful stuff. Of course it won't work miracles, but some Mother's and a lot of elbow grease can make a big difference on aluminum coil shields and electrolytic cans.
