One question though, is there a plaque, a decal, or some sort of stamp on that cabinet someplace? In looking at the pictures again I don't think it was a custom cabinet, you will notice that around the top edge, base, the legs, and stretchers it appears to have shaded lacquer over a cheaper grainless wood like maple, beech, or poplar, that indicates that it was a production cabinet of some kind. It doesn't mean that it was a frankenradio but it may have been an aftermarket production cabinet.
If it were custom made it's very likely that they would have used a higher quality wood on the legs and other visible parts. The carving also would have been hand carved with a chisel, the carving on this looks like it may have been machine made, something that a small cabinet maker would not have had the machinery to do.
