Ok....  I did not say that if the radio is in dire straights to leave it
alone and marvel at its rust spots!  I even said that I have in the past
done repainting on some cabinets that really needed it.

I am talking about everyday normal wear and tear that you would expect for
a 40+ year old radio.

Lets face it, we all have a few wrinkles to show for our age!
