FADA L-56 - Restoration Tips and Valuation

New to this. I was asked by an elderly friend to help him try and sell his radio collection. The prize of the few he has seems to be this one. It powers on. Should I clean it? Replace lens? Anything? I believe this color is butterscotch. Haven't seen one exactly like it online. Would appreciate any info or suggestions on pricing.

How To Open Philco 46-1201

Hello, I recently received a philco 46-1201 that I'm intending to take on as a project. Looking at the manual, it says to open it, there are two releases on either side of the inner-door in order to open the cabinet. My 1201 doesn't have them anywhere to be seen, the inner door piece is made of wood as opposed to metal, and doesn't have the catches. Anyone able to help me out?
