ZENITH WALTON RESTORE/FINISHED!
#9

Fred;
  For cleaning up those aluminum cans I would start by washing them in a TSP solution with hot water, that may brighten them up a bit without making them shiny. For the tuning condenser you may want to try soaking it in an Evaporust type product, apparently it will remove the rust without harming the aluminum plates, a fellow on You Tube did that with some out of some real rustbucket sets and they came up quite decent.
Regards
Arran

P.S Who needs a magic eye tube, it's just a gimmick, and it's a farm set anyhow. Even if it originally had one it was a 6T5 which are made from unobtanium, so you would be using a 6U5 or 6E5.
