more progress today, the stereo tuner faceplate cleaned up very nicely as did the knobs, hot soapy water and an old toothbrush did the trick.
on the plastic there is lettering that stands proud of the backing, RCA, new vista etc... was silver but much of it was worn off. I think If I can find or fabricate a small rubber J roller with the roller made from fairly hard rubber, I could just use it like inking lettering with some silver paint. I dont trust my hands to try and touch up with a brush, and since the lettering stands proud, I am pretty sure it would turn out nice.
Going to clean out the bottom of the cabinet under the tuner today and reinstall, hopefully the stereo will not need any more work as its a bit of a PITA to hook it up to the amp and speakers. Pretty sure it will be fine. I have worked on other RCA tube tuners, they work very well.
