Here's the polished up cabinet and brass.

I also took the top of the cabinet apart to get the handle cleaned and to fix some of the screws that had worked loose and would not hold that top section down.  A little plastic wood filler in the screw holes helped along with a slightly longer screw in one spot.

The handle is hollow and I had read in one of the write-ups I referenced in the first post that it had a tendency to break.  The suggested fix was to put epoxy into the hollow section.  Done.

That little section of asbestos on the inside of the cabinet below the dial cover got a couple coats of shellac to keep the edges from fraying.
