[NJARC] Looking to ID radio

[Bill Zukowski]

The set needs some electrical cleaning.  There's white schmutz, possibly 
oxidation on the tube socket contacts and around the tube bases.  Then I 
have to cludge A, B and C voltages.

The wood is well worn, fortunately not veneer.  Any suggestions, from 
anyone, on the best way to clean the wood?  Probably won't attempt to 
re-paint the cabinet, but just clean it up and maintain the "patina".
