I believe a lot depends on the cost of the radio. You would not expect the same quality finish on a $19 Model 80 as on a expensive console. I am sure the expensive models received the full finishing treatment, but not so sure of the less costly baby grands.
Here is a sales card for the Model 32. It specifically describes a satin finish on the cabinets.
