Hi auplater,

I have this same radio. I'd be interested in knowing how you plan to go about restoring the speakers?

Have a look here:

This is a specialty automotive restoration site, but their "Rust Dissolver" is the best non-harmful rust remover I have ever used. It takes a bit longer to soak in this stuff than the directions say, but I used it to de-rust a few of my tube shields with great success. Plus the stuff is non-harmful, and water soluble. Great stuff.

Check out their rust encapsulator paint as well. It's really excellent, and comes in silver color. They have several other metallic paints that are pretty durable and might interest you as well. Cheaper than actually plating the shields:
