Here are a couple cabinet pics of mine. Some day I will learn to take better pics . I'm sure they would look better if I took them outside.
As far as cleaning the dial with mineral spirits I tried recently on an RCA T4-8 and I was not happy with the results as it seemed to leave an almost glossy film that was difficult to remove. So I am out to lunch on that for now.
