Are the knobs on the front correct? The T506 used the standard Hallicrafters looking knobs, but these are different.
Anyone know where I can get a new faceplate or a good way to restore this one?
Finally, this is something that was suggested on another site, but maybe somebody has a definitive answer: was the T506 made out of left over Delco sets that they cut the channel 1 button off and put on a new face plate?

Same set as the T-54, 505 506, etc, some had channel one some didn't but I don't recall which had what.
The brass over the speaker is just glued to the aluminum base that has the woodgrain painted on. If the woodgrain part is in good shape you can take the brass off and clean it up with Brasso and even a wire brush if needed, I did that to my Hallicrafters with the same front (except it says Hallicrafters instead of Delco.
The knobs are correct for the Delco.
I believe it's a Walnut cabinet and the front is supposed to be painted black, somewhere I have a picture of mine, I'll post it if I find it.
The schematic is posted here:
