i have a 512 and a 513,shown here; http://www.radioatticarchives.com/radio.htm?radio=8855
i wouldn't dare mess with either one.
the 512 is in good condition,the 513 not so much.
i waxed it and that's all i'm going to do.
i considered painting it with clear laquer to preserve what's left of the original finish but i'm still deciding on that,that's a non-reversable step.
