I wiped off the dust and debris. Then applied some Liquid Gold wood cleaner and preservative. The 'newer' 820 cleaned up really well, though there is an area at the bottom of the grill where the dark finish has disappeared.
The 'older' 820 has more problems. Part of the right side lived next to a single pane sliding door for 30 years, and got quite a bit of sunlight. The finish is almost completely gone. Just some flakes remain.
Does anyone know what kind of dark finish Altecs of that era used? I will most likely call in a professional furniture restorer, because there are a few chips in the veneer that also need to be fixed.
