Default Restoring old black knobs.

Anyone have some ideas on restoring some old black knobs to the
original glossy finish? These are the black knobs possibly made from
bakelite? used on the HQ-170 receiver and many other old boatanchor
type equipment. I have a couple of the knobs on my old AT-1 that have
gone dull and I would like to return them to the nice glossy finish?
Thought about cleaning them real well and then spraying them with some
type of clear glossy finish? Possibly there is a better idea out
there. Thanks & 73, Randy, w5kcm


Several very good ideas. I will give them a try. Thanks to everyone &
