    Before I do anything to this radio, it is not Bakelite, correct? So a paint stripper would be a bad idea? Is it best to remove all of the old paint, or is it OK to sand smooth, primer, and paint? The cabinet came in black and ivory. The one I have is ivory. Does anyone know of a current paint that matches the 1951 ivory Philco used?
