I just realized I finished this radio a while ago but did not finish the posts for it. 
I repainted the metal escutcheon although it came out a little lighter than I had hoped, maybe a redo at some point. A new dial cover from Mark Palmquist. Mark includes the little rivets to hold it in place and I had trouble getting them inserted (fumble fingers) so I used a bit of buss wire and threaded them in place, then deformed them with needle nose pliers just enough to hold.

Usual stripping and toning process (see... USPS is good for somethings...especially those free boxes):

The final product minus some call letters to be made soon:
