After looking closer at the cabinet, I agree with you about it being factory made or at least being made by someone with advanced skills and tools. It still could be a kit type radio sold with a basic case. What's weird is that there doesn't seem to be any dial cover, just a hole cut in the case. Either that or it could just be a cheapie model sold by some discount outfit? definitely a mystery, but that is what makes it fun!!

It looks like there was something covering the dial at some point. There is some sort of adhesive residue on the back side of the opening.....no knobs on it either of course.
