Without seeing the radio, it's hard to tell, but many of these sets used (for lack of a better term) a sort of 'photo finish'. This is a fake wood grain, glued down in a very thin material over the plywood cabinet. The only model that I know of that uses a 'real' wood cabinet is the blonde version of the C730, but I could be wrong. Pretty much the same thing for the C730s sister radio, the arched-top G730, but I have seen these in natural wool cabinets.
Paint on the dial lens? Do you mean the gold paint around the edge? Well, its either there or it isn't, but I suppose you could restore it with the correct shade of gold and some modeling paint, applied with a very fine brush. That seems like a lot of work to me; I'd rather just make sure it is working properly and enjoy it in the patina it's earned over the years. Nothing wrong with that-
