Sometimes old furniture has a paper tag on it somewhere giving
information about who made it. Over the years the paper yellows and gets
dirty.
There is no newsgroup about antique restoration, no restoration forum
on the Internet, and a google search of this group turned up nothing.
Does anyone know of any source of information about cleaning old paper?
Many thanks,
Stewart
Mark,
Tanks a million. Your information will be put on the Antique Radio Forum.

There has been no discussion on rec.antiques.radio+phono about the
Harbor Freight radios. I posted a question about them.
You can read any responses here. Google is usually several hours behind
the newsgroups.

Roy,
Now that you mention it, I remember hearing about using bread to clean
wallpaper. Back before they made washable wallpaper.
I don't know a thing about MP3. Never downloaded anything. Some old
radio guys buy a small transmitter [I don't think they are very
expensive] to broadcast old time radio records across the room to their
radios.
Post your question on rec.antiques.radio+phono. There are some very
sharp people there and I'm sure you will get some information.

When in doubt hit the throttle. It may not help but it sure ends the suspense.
