Not that I'm aware of, but a lot can happen in 80 years to an original finish, between natural darkening and getting bleached by sun exposure. Colin's finished radio has been given more of a mahogany shade than I've seen on preserved examples. Here's mine, fortunately in a good enough state for me to be contented with it as it is (though 20-odd years ago when I had recent experience of French polishing a few sets I wouldn't have minded giving it the treatment).
