I must have missed Ron's reply of 5/11/2019 while I was composing my own, and only just spotted it now, on the 26th of May. Yes. The shield being rusted completely to the base is definitely possible with this chassis, and would seem to explain one more indignity suffered by this unfortunate radio!

Philcos: 90, 70, 71B, 610, 37-61 40-81, 46-420 Code 121 to name a few.
Plus enough Zeniths, Atwater Kents and others to trip over!
