Listers,
Unfortunately, there is No whiz bang method to restoring "Bakelite." Good
old fashioned knowledge, proper technique and elbow grease does the trick.
In other words, like good body work, no shortcuts here.
I typically spend at least five hours on each control head I restore and
much of that involves the cleaning, repairing, sanding (320 to 1200 grit),
dying, polishing, and waxing of the Bakelite.
I've attached some before and after pictures of a 100M unit I did last year.
Cheers,
Curt
