Thanks

I stripped the cabinet. The skinny horizontal strip of veneer under the knobs is peeling off. Not sure if the stripping helped it break loose. Im thinking I will have to replace it as the original has curled.. Not sure yet.

The speaker cone is pretty much gone. Looks like the voice coil survived though. Debating if I should try my hand at reconing or send it out.

TA, funny you mention that "seller" from the past. Everytime I see a radio for sale in that area I get a bad taste in my mouth ( like puke).
Found this beauty at a local antique mall for 20 bucks. Couldnt beleive it as I never find anything there.
