I'll try to remember that tip and give it a try next time I encounter some nasty brass.

Extracting the speaker and grille cloth was a bigger pain than I expected. The antenna had to come put first, then the speaker, then the speaker board, then the grille cloth and cardboard backer.

I suspect this is not the original cloth.
