<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ron Guttman, post: 3285222, member: 17889&quot;]I am in the process of restoring a country telephone, one of those &quot;crank&quot; style wall-mounted phones.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have two questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>What is the best way to clean the finish so that the underlying patina is not destroyed?</p><p><br /></p><p>And the real tough one. There is a serious crack on the back panel. If this wasn&#039;t a true antique (and family heirloom) I would simply cut out the bad section and insert a new piece. HOWEVER, I don&#039;t think that would retain the full antique value of the unit. Suggestions?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
