Got the radio yesterday.  Very happy with it!  Hopefully someone will find me some speaker cloth at Kutztown!  I still wonder if the gold wasn't done at the dealer for the Hollywood giveaway?  The radio had to be dis-assembled to paint under the speaker screws and dial escutcheon, not usually something done by an amatuer.  Plus the fact that it's very worn around the knobs, speaks to it being in regular use enough to wear that gold off....

I've added photos of the cloth and both sides of the chassis.  Hopefully someone knows who has a close match for the cloth or an old decent original would be great! Maybe, since I'm electronically challenged, someone will chime in as to what they see with the chassis.  Is it unmolested or butched up?

I'm thinking that in 1930, the winner of this auction considered this golden radio, one of their prized possessions!
