When a radio like this has a few "battle scars" that's OK, it just shows that it has been through a long life but is still here. I hope you polish it up and leave the original finish. Just my opinion. Thanks!

Kinda the way I am leaning.. one it is less work, but two, like I believe it was you who said.. once it's gone, it's gone.. I know the restore-a-finish really did a hell of a great job on my other radio, but it didn't have near the damage this one did.. I wonder how hard it might be to actually replace or repair some of the missing finish.. I think the top for the most part will clean up.. I know the paint over-spray will come off, but the rings probably won't go away.. eh.. that's why they make doilies huh?
