Restoring old black knobs.

"w5kcm" wrote in message ... 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 Hi Randy, I have used repeated applications of motor oil on my Collins bakelite knobs. Dale W4OP |
