I think I read somewhere alcohol is not a good thing to use on Bakelite like ammonia it can irreversibly dull the finish of the Bakelite. Some folks use shoe polish on them to get the shine back after cleaning with something too harsh. Easier and less toxic than lacquer. I bought a can a while back and was really surprised how much it cost. When I was a kid it was 10 or 15c at the drug store now it's like 3.50-$4 !!!!!
