I don't think the grille cloth is original; I've never seen any cloth that looks like this on any of the Bozak E-300 photos I have seen.
The cabinets are pretty rough. They are getting close to 60 years old, and they show it. Here's a close-up of the top trim on one of them:

The bottom trim had been replaced by some cheap home interior trim some time ago, and the risers were removed and casters added. I suspect these boxes were put on casters due to their weight; casters would make them easier to move around but it removes the originality.
I had planned on replacing top and bottom trim as part of this project. The top trim has to come off in order to get the old cloth off and to install the new cloth.
I noticed something else I had previously overlooked:

Yes, one of the Bozak nameplates is broken.
I will attempt to glue it back together with J-B Weld later.
