Excellent job, Mike, and that cabinet looks fantastic now that you've cleaned it up - perhaps you should have also posted a 'before' picture for comparison.
All it needs now is the aerial socket and the missing chassis securing screw!
The cabinet uses the same moulding as the MB60 and, back in the day, we were often asked to fit an output socket for connecting to a tape recorder. The indentation where the MB60 mains socket would have been was an ideal place to mount a 3-pin DIN socket.
I think that the very large ferrite rod helped with the sensitivity of these sets, coupled with the unusual aerial arrangement whereby both MW and LW aerial coils are connected in parallel on MW.
