Could not resist another Philco. It wasn't great to begin with but got worse with bad ebay packaging. Dial cover broke , broken tube ect.
It seems beyond cleaning .It is Ivory bakelite I think .Usually I like to clean things up and that is that .Not really happy with the outcome of my cleaning on this one . Can I paint this ? I want to have it look original still. Do not want a red or blue job. But want to restore as close as possible the radio to original . I also (being a true nut for this stuff) have it's brown bakelite counter part on the way . So questions are.
Do I leave it beat up . Or redo it .Do I sand prime and spray paint ?
Or strip with some kind of stripper that won't melt the radio ?
Just looking for some guidance from anyone in the know . I want to do the best job I can on this case including the dial cover . Thanks for any info as always.
