Back from med stuff. Both connection plates are insulated from the frame. No ground to the house. They are mounted insulating discs. The "Radio" is a TS 1/4" standard connector.
I can see this radio panel as a series connector going from the radio speaker output from room to room and ending at the original speaker to be interrupted at any chosen room...if you were rich enough.
Apparently my grandparents did not have the glory of these plates in their mansion. Just a Radiola IV (which I have minus a few parts). Attached is a scan of a newspaper article my brother found in the Rockford archives (low res). Barney Thompson, the writer was a friend of the family. And when I was delivering the same paper on my paper route Barney was still writing his column 40 years later. I am officially old.
