What to do with poor condition Bakelite case?
Good afternoon all,
I have acquired a GEC radio with a very distressed casing.
The case is Bakelite with wood grain effect side panels, so my question is, what should I do to make the radio look presentable again?
At first I thought, should I just get the radio up and running again and leave the case to show how they look if not looked after but then I thought no, I will try and make it look presentable again.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should do with the case and how to go about rubbing down and what paint and colours to use to paint/spray it.
I am also seeking some new material to replace the material on the baffle board, so any information as to suppliers etc will be very welcome.
Regards,
Brian
