Philco 60 restoration
#37

Gary

Yes, I cleaned it with Goop, (the photo above is one swipe of the paper towel across Gooped top of the radio), I bought some supply of non-abrasive (no pumice, dark-blue label) from Harbor Freight some time ago; we had a lengthy discussion this last fall in October about it, as I was looking for GoJo, and it has been discontinued.
https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthrea...light=goop

This said, these two (non-abrasive) Goop and GoJo, I think, were the same; both smell the same and feel the same, and did the same job.
BTW, the website says that the Goop is "Waterless formula", and the ingredients say "water", in addition to isoparaffins, fatty acid surfactants etc.

As for the upper AM here, I am not even sure what it is used for.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
