   Thanks for the input.. I will ponder it for a while and try to remove a grill cloth on a different radio for practice..
    Fred,, this radio is a Rogers 10-12  it was rogers 10th anniversary and it has 12 tubes hence , 10-12.
  The chassis and speaker frame are chrome and it is one of the best cabinets that they made.
  The hole in the front is for the clock which you can set to turn the radio on and off. Here are a couple of photos of the radio..Google rogers 10-12  and click on images
