Hi Robert,
I have a 6S52 on the bench here being restored. Mine has had quite a hard life too, especially the cabinet. I have the chassis recapped, aligned and playing well, but the cabinet leaves something to be desired.
I may elect to delay the cabinet work for another time. The one thing I like about these radios is that beautiful multicolor dial. They tell me you can make the dial look even nicer, by repainting the colors on the back side of it with acrylic stained glass paint (stain). I would be happy to answer any questions about the chassis that you may have, if I am able.
Regards,
Ed
