From what I have seen with grill cloth, no, it is not always that it can be saved. Sometimes you touch it and it falls apart. Plus it might be discolored to the point that even if you can spray it with something to stabilize, the color will be gone. And spraying might increase the resistance to air movement through it, so not only acoustic might suffer but the cloth itself will be subjected to extra pressure which, considering it fragility, will not add to its longevity.
I guess it depends on how it was kept all these years.
The radio looks great, the colors are exactly like they look on museum quality pieces. The grain....this is where real connosseurs come in to judge, I am not one of them.
I say, great looking piece. Hat's off.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
