Fire prevention tip: Don't leave it plugged in all of the time; unplug it when not in use and when leaving the house.

As for the cabinet, it might be worth trying some Howard's Restore-A-Finish, walnut color, on the cabinet to see how that does before taking more drastic steps. It is my understanding that the Howard's does not contain silicones. You don't want any silicones on your radio cabinet, especially if you are considering a refinish in the future. Silicone contamination will keep lacquer from adhering properly to the wood. This is why Pledge or other spray-on furniture waxes should be avoided. Howard's Orange Oil or Feed-N-Wax are better for the cabinets, and AFAIK, contain no silicones.
