Ok not signs of any repairs, good or hack, and the corrosion is limited to the back right 1/4-1/3 area so it may have been a rats nest in that area at one time. All the wood brace blocks are still intact so that again leads me to think it was a mouse playhouse for a bit. I might try a wire brush and see what I can do with it. The tuning gang is still free but I did wash it and blow off the excess water with my air compressor and lube the tuning gang and put it away again. The radio was missing one "78" tube and one of the 42's might be fried, will check them later to see how many are good/bad.
