Re: What to do with poor condition Bakelite case?
Brian, best bet is to use the "Search" facility. As there is heaps of valuable info on Bakelite & its restoration. Generally, "rubbing down" - if that means using sandpaper/emery cloth or wirewool - is a no no. Some folk have recommended "Brasso", but some types of bakelite dont respond to it very well. I find that a really good car body finisher's compound is best. Farecla is what I've been using. No6 for initial polishing, and No10 for final polishing.
