RCA model 66X1 all done

[Dan Walker]

I bought this one from Kijiji and it was all apart at the time.
I recapped it and had to change three resistors before it would work.
The cabinet was quite dull, but after a good cleaning and renaissance wax, it turned out pretty good.

Excellent work Dan, as always.

Great Job Dan! Very interesting dial.
I use Novus, Meguiar’s PlastX or sometimes I find just plain brown or black shoe polish.
I find not every product works best on every piece of Bakelite, and you have to experiment a bit.
I will be Googling renaissance wax.

Hi Ben; the best thing I like about the renaissance wax is that it does not leave finger prints.
I suppose when you google it they will tell you that the British museums hired some scientists to formulate a wax for their museum things.
As I understand it: they use the wax on all of the stuff.
I do really like the wax, and you don’t need much of it
