I got over to my Parents' house a few days ago. (See my post with a ton of pics). During my initial inspection when I picked it up and left it at my parents house, I missed the routered slots inside the doors. As I have some experience as a woodworker, I immediately recognized them as a sign there used to be pockets for storage in there. I have enough experience that I could fashion replacements, but it would be nice to have detail pics to see what they look like.
Hint, Hint, Skip.

The center grill cloth is a new Repo from Richmond. The two small pieces over the clarifiers are from an original larger piece I was able to salvage. The original cloth in the radio when I got it was bright red. Man was it ugly.
Thank you.

Beautiful radio, Skip!
