I am in the processing of restoring a Hallicrafters SX-101A model MKIIIA.

The big black dial bezel on this radio has a smooth flat black finish. I all
the pictures that I have examined on the Internet, the bezel has a black
wrinkled finish. In disassembling the bezel from the front panel, it looks
like this was original because none of green painted on "screw seals"
appeared disturbed.

Is this correct for this model or has someone done a masterful refinishing
job at some point in the past?

Early models of the 101 including the straight 101 had a flat black
bezel. Only the later models had the crinkle finish.
I'd have to go out and look but as I recall the 101A and the MKIII
have a number of differences including the bezel finish, frequency
coverage, and main tuning knob.
