Welcome to the Phorum!

The grain look on that model was what is known as a "Photo finish" which is a paper like finish with the grain applied to it.
Models with photo finish are listed in this thread: https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...otofinish/

There is a DIY tutorial for photo finishes here: https://philcoradio.com/schooley/
I've used those techniques but never on something with so many curved surfaces as the 1201. I'm sure others will have some thoughts.
Cheers,
Bob
