The cabinet arrived this morning and boy is it heavy. Very well made and inside I found a decal with the name Sherman Clay and Co.
They were a well known piano store in the SF Bay area so I suspect they also sold high end radios also as I *think* I have seen that name on some McMurdo's of the same era.
Off to the store to get some cleaners and will post a few photos once I get it all cleaned up. It looks like the speaker sound board was removed but I can figure that out. I have acquired a correct (with a minor resister difference) 201X chassis and speaker and its on it's way this week to a repairman who will hopefully get it playing for me.
The inlays and veneers are just stunning. I wonder who made the 500 cabinets for this model.
