Thanks for the compliments from all.
The escutcheon is in good condition or I might not have bid on the radio.
I cleaned the chassis with just wet rag to get the heavy grime off lightly sanded the rusty areas and then used the lock- tite naval jelly on those spots. Took 4 treatments to get the rust off.
I don't usually paint a chassis but decided to try it with this one since it was all apart.
Used rust- oleum satin nickel paint. Followed by 3 coats of lacquer. I could only find the metallic, would have preferred a plain but can't find it in store.
By the way anyone that doesn't know, if you paint a chassis make sure you tape off or clean the areas where the components require a chassis connection or ground.
