Bad idea for the top section as it will trap in a lot of heat. The bottom section may change some of the acoustical characteristic of the cabinet. You are better off to leave it original it being a fairly rare set.

Even though some big radios had the back, I would question the need for it.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
