Well,Chris, don't give up on it !! What is it made of? If it's wood, a little Murphy's Oil Soap, followed by a judicious use of Old English can/will work wonders. If it's plastic/bakelite, some elbow grease & a couple coats of car wax may do the trick. Cleaning the insides can be tricky. Be careful NOT to destroy any labels or diagrams-they will prove invaluable when you decide to restore it electronically. And you WILL want to do that. Trust me. How many tubes has it got? Is it just broadcast band-standard AM or does it have shortwave, too? Does it have FM? If so, then it's probly from the 50s or 60s. Yeah, you can have just a bookshelf sitter, nice 'n' purty, but eventually, you'll wanna get the old gal "talking" again....-Sandy G.
