It's been a while but the owner picked up the set last June and was thrilled with the results.[attachment=20104]
I decided to use a light furniture oil on the cabinet then buff. It served to clean and brighten the finish at the same time coat the bare metal as a rust protection. The RCA 100 speaker really turned out looking nice. There used to be a grille cloth covering the screens but I painted them an antique gold. If the owner wants to add a cloth later it will be easy. The TRF radio performed well.
Later next week I will post the method I used to construct a 48 foot antenna for this radio.
Thanks for all the help, people! Appreciated.
