Somehow I didn't think so.

Better to wait and get something that is good for wood such as Murphy's Oil soap. Short of that I think you could wipe the surface down gently with Mineral Spirits or Turpentine. But please be careful and try just a small area first. I think the Pledge would best be used after you have applied Howards or Olde English.

Yeah... not sure I'd risk trying something as abrasive as Mineral Spirits or Turpentine unless I was going to take sandpaper to it next.

Please take your time on this cabinet. It has waited this long for you to come along and rescue it. I'm sure there are plenty of people on this site that could give you further excellent advice.

Now I'm going into off the wall crap... but I seem to remember reading somewhere that olive oil is good on some woods. I have a bit of that left over from my last grocery run... but I'd be mighty hesitant to use a food product on a unit like this. Anyway... I'll call my mother later tonite... she used to do a lot of woodwork (refinishing old furniture, mostly)... so she may still have something laying around that could help.

If not, just wait until you can get to the store and buy what you need. Please keep us posted, we'll follow along.

Will do.
BTW... anyone know of a good source of UX-226 or UY-227 (or compatible) tubes? I'd hate to get my hopes up on this unit... only to find out I cannot afford to finish restoring this unit.
