Got a new old radio! GE 210

I took the plunge and joined my local Historical Radio Society.(Alabama Historical Radio Society) I will be working one on one with gentlemen who have been doing radio restorations for years. I took the Philco in, and they gave me two options: Find a new chassis, or part it out. I obviously was not too enthusiastic about the latter, so I will try my best to look for a new chassis. They said I butchered it when I made a futile attempt at recapping it. But I digress. The first time I went to the meeting, I was taken to the "Annex" or the dungeon where members are free to search for free restoration projects. I do need some advice on making the plastic (not bakelite) cabinet shinier. I will be getting professional help restoring this one. The radio shown is not mine, mine is still waiting for repair at the next meeting.
