Not familiar with that particular set but from NostalgiaAir schematic, it's a typical AA5. However, it has a larger than usual wooden cabinet and a 5" speaker, so will sound a bit better than the average plastic kitchen radio. If you don't care about originality, and if there's room in the cabinet, you might be able to squeeze a larger speaker in there: 6", 8", or 5 x 7" would give better bass. The cabinet doesn't look too bad so maybe one of the "restorer" products would work without a complete stripdown. Those "inlaid" strips might be photofinish printed paper, so you'd want to inspect them carefully with a magnifying glass before proceeding. Any solvent or cleaner might take them off or dissolve the printed finish. Might have to work around them, mask them off with blue or green tape first.
