Motorola 65x11

[funken]

Well I'm on a roll.

Droped by a local antique mall this afternoon and purchased a bakelite Motorola 65x11.

I plugged this rascal in and was surprised of the quality sound and reception this unit produced.

My research tells me this is one of the first post WW2 bakelite radios.

I brought in home pulled out the chassi. Did a little cleaning to the set.

This is the first bakelite I've owned. I'm mostly into the 1920s and German sets.

I attempted to clean and polish the cabinet. It must've had 50 years of cigarette tar.

It did clean up okay but I was wondering if any of you bakelite experts have a home remedy for cleaning and polishing.

Thanks!
