Thanks Ron!
Actually, I was surprised that the grill cloth was intact and clean! The radio clearly was put away due to insurmountable repair problems (2 chokes and the output transformer open), and obviously was kept somewhere where it was dry and fairly clean.
There was a repair attempt, I guess, as the screws,m that held the rails to the back of the cabinet, were gone. But I think, it progressed to the realization of it being too much, and I saw no signs of soldering or replaced parts.
So having a fairly clean cabinet and good cloth (and!!! surviving the trip in Kirk's van! Which is in itself a very dangerous thing for a radio to undertake!) is surprising.
PS. Thanks Kirk!

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
