Bob, I have a collection of old Zenith Transoceanic radios in addition to my phonographs. Years ago I used mink oil on them, but since use McGuire's upholstery products. Windex also cleans well. Believe it or not, a little bit of shoe polish after cleaning for touchup. You can try using the McGuire's for vinyl and leather and velour or whatever on small non-showing part of the covering and decide what works best.
This is what I used on the leatherette on the old radios and they still look brilliant today.
