Hello! Just picked up a '56 halolight ("the Kelsey") Model 21C401M from an antique shop. Always wanted one in my living room for "atmosphere" not restoration. It looks pretty good, but I was seeking advice on how to clean the Mahogany cabinet and maybe clean the gold thread fabric and faux finish on the lower front. Just needs some spiffing up. Are there any safety concerns I should have if the screen ever got accidentally bumped or struck? (No kids in house) Please excuse my total ignorance here, but I enjoyed reading a thread about horror stories, only it put the spook in me. I read about....picture tube implosion...thousands of lbs of pressure...no safety glass pre-sixties, etc. Are there any dangers to having this 50's beaut just sitting there? Needless to say, the power cord is getting wrapped up snugly! Any suggestions greatly appreciated...thanks! Patty
