So far I've been sticking with the ladies in their sedate black dresses, but seeing all the different colors is making me rethink this. :)
I have a 15-91 that I'm cleaning up for SIL. Got it at an estate sale. I know it came from a smoker's house cuz I'm getting all kinds of yellow gunk off with the Goop cleaner. That's on the machine. However, looked at faceplate of machine and it is yellow also from tar & nicotine. How do I clean that up? Open to helpful suggestions - have checked Bily's cleaning tutes and didn't see where he covered this. Thinking Brasso or silver cleaner perhaps?? Looking for ideas, please.

I was 14 that year, and yes, the Beatles had us all in a dither!! LOL :lol: :lol: I remember the first time they were on TV on Ed Sullivan...wow!![/quote]
I was 8 in 1965. My older brother was a Beatles fan. I just thought they were cute.

Goop will work on that as well. You might let it set a few minutes.

Welcome Bennett! It does sound like you are addicted, like all of us... i.e. ' it's not like I really needed it'... LOL That, is a sure sign. Hope you can post photos of your lovely ladies. :-D
