Chassis photos to come, but here is the cabinet mostly sanded
Please don't sand....
Lacquer thinner and #0000 steel wool will clean off every bit of finish without hurting/scratching/destroying the veneer.
Sanding takes off the Veneer and especially on the grill work as in your photos, it is sanding the edges and not the center of the grill pieces. If it is done too deeply, when stained, it will be darker in the center and wont take stain on the low areas... I almost NEVER sand a radio...
I don't see any issues on it so you didn't sand through.
It is a beautiful radio...
