A radio like that, I would be just as likely to leave the finish as is, blemishes and all. At least it's original, which means more to some collectors even with blemishes. You can't go back once you strip it.
Of course the original is sprayed lacquer, including layers of toned lacquer to even out the colors. If I was going to have someone refinish one, I'd be asking if they knew how and were willing to do that, because nothing else matches the original appearance. I've always planned to learn, and I have quite a stack of otherwise nice radios with bad or completely missing finish waiting in the wings.
