Wow

We are fortunate here in the USA (Canada, too, I think) in that we do not have the problem with woodworms that you folks in the UK and Ireland seem to have. I've been collecting antique radios for 40 years and I don't think I've ever come across this sort of damage over here.

Besides the fact that it would take a very large microwave to accept a radio cabinet as large as I suspect that Philco is...I would think the microwaving would be worse for the wood than for the possible critters inside?

This is one of those questions where, having no experience with this sort of thing, I have to say that I honestly do not have an answer. Sorry.

Now you've made me nervous - I have two UK Philco sets I had sent over here from England a couple years ago. Icon_think

On the other hand, neither set shows any signs of woodworms.
