Terry,

The philco looks great! Good transformation.

I often restuff cardboard multi-sections and cans just because sometimes it's easier than figuring out a different mounting system.

I don't mind someone seeing orange drops or yellow drips when they open up a set.

I have thought about stuffing and re-waxing those old wax paper caps though.

Well I've used things like Kerosene, really stinky WD-40, Mek, odorless mineral spirits, white gas, alcohol. All should be used with care as they are combustible. I like petroleum distillates most evaporate quick and are strong. Good for cleaning wax dripping. Sometimes a heatgun is a good tool to get off sticky drips and other stuff.

Maybe kerosene and a match???

I'm thinking you are right about some kind petroleum distillates. Something more refined like alcohol that evaporates quickly. Will have to test certain areas ahead of time in case it would turn the thing into a mass of goo.

Thanks!
