Hi John,
I just use foam cleanser on my Hacker sets. It does a great job of removing the dirt (scrubbing with an old nailbrush if required), and dries leaving a fairly matt finish. Some people prefer their sets to shine, so apply other treatments - not that I've tried any of them. I've no way of knowing what they looked like when new, but to me at least, a sober matt finish suites them...
Be aware that although foam cleaner is very mild, it can remove the dye in the Rexine that Roberts tended to use.
Thanks for the details of your sets (yes, it's quite early) - I'll add it to the database in a moment: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hackerradiogroup/database - before I do, is yours black or blue?
"boiss", before I add your set to the database, what colour is it, and does it also have a Goodmans loudspeaker with 3 bolts in the magnet?
Thanks,
Mark
