A.K. MODEL 44

Without the metal cabinet you will have a problem with local stations not being able to be turned down. Can you instal metal between the radio and wood cabinet? It's not so much shielding tubes but rather coils. Coils are picking up local stations.

This problem is also on RCA Radiola 17 and 18 which are in wood cabinets.
