Restore a 37-610
#1

Hello all! I just wanted to firstly state that I am very new to radio restoration and want to say thank you in advance to any and all help that I receive. With that said, I have come into possession of a Philco 37-610 radio. At least that is what the the sticker on the inside of the cabinet claims. It appears to be a 37-623J cabinet, however. Anyways, I came into possession of this after my grandfather had passed. I would ultimately like to at least restore the cabinet for my grandmother as a gift. I believe that the electronic aspect may be a bit past me as it appears the components are in pretty poor shape.
Where could I find the knobs for this cabinet and a new grill cloth? Also, what's the best way to clean the dial (I know thats not the term, very new)? Again, thanks in advance and I am very excited to start learning about this new hobby!
