Looks to be in good condition. Looks to be the same as in my 1940 1808. As stated gland nuts off and should just come down. Even though had my radio rebuilt many years ago, have never used it. Remember there is really nothing much in english anymore. What I did was get in invert er and put in the glove box a cd payer with amplifier with some mini speakers under the front dash, and a couple in the trunk top area. This way I can play from a cd, or ipod anything I want. I am close to updating to perhaps rechargeable blue tooth speakers. This way can use the ipod, and hide the speakers anywhere without wires, or inverter.
It has been many years since I had that center plastic piece off, but I believe you need to take out all of the controls at the bottom before it comes off. A real pain. I forget which one of the knobs needs a spanner type wrench to loosen and tighten. I made a special tool for this many years ago, of which I can send a picture if needed.
