Congratulations, that will be a lot of fun to restore! If you can't get a Philco cabinet then your idea of a local craftsman fabricating one sounds very interesting. I was once stationed in the Philippines and if the Korean craftsmen are anything like them you'll have no problem having a cabinet made up. It might wind up such a unique piece that you'll have a radio that is a very special keepsake. I hope the radio makes the journey w/o any significant damage!
