Arran, now that I know where the cabinet came from, I found pictures of one without a radio and it had a full wood back with a couple of holes in it. Not sure if it was original or if it was put on after the cabinet was re-purposed. There are screw holes in the back of mine that would indicate that there was a back at one time. That would certainly improve the safety! Perhaps the holes in the back of the one in the pic lined up with the antenna and ground terminals.
A couple a more pics. anyone recognize the radio brand?
