Look more closely at the area between the tuning dials. It appears to
be a solid rust cover. There are also paint strips at various points
on the chassis which "to me" appear to be covering corrosion.


No, the chassis is very clean and original. It's not been cleaned up at all
(see the original chassis ink stamps?)- that brown stain is grease dripped
off of the shaft above it.
