My dad had a friend who routinely used scraps of upolstery fabric for radios, just find cheap not too thick pieces, used to get them from the shop that re -upolstered furniture, remember them? Free, which was the magic word. Some were quite ugly, he did not care, grew up in the 30's and in his head never really cared for exact repro look. Made them play, looks were secondary.
