Someone may recognise the model this cabinet belongs to. However the owner of it would like to put either the right,or a suitable "of era" chassis in it, as it has been gutted.

Dimensions are 700x550x360 mms controls are 75 80 75 mm.

Looks like this one is a 45E. I was brought back here via Bing, as I often am.

Update: Your control layout looks slightly different to Art's. Two distinct models in the one cabinet perhaps.

Pity the woodwork in front of the speaker has been damaged.

The grille is easy to replicate and replace though matching the veneer and stain colour, even if refinishing the whole cabinet, is the tricky bit. If the latter is done right you can hide the fact that the grille is not original.
