Cool project. I restored a similar radio, but I kept mine stock. I have to admit I never use it, there is nothing but baseball on AM radio here. https://m.imgur.com/a/U5eDa

I was lucky the paint stayed on. It's common for it to flake off.

You can fill the holes, pits and low spots with wood filler, drywall compound or autobody filler if you are going to paint it anyway. Drywall compound is very easy to sand and if it's thin and you prime it should hold up fine.

Yeah, wow, I just read your thread and posted telling you to do what you're doing.  The sanding and paint prep work stage takes the longest. My Dad used to restore cars and would always take forever doing the body work. Seemed like all the mechanical stuff went by in a flash and then a year of sanding etc.

Looking good. No plans for a power light or anything on the face plate?

Nice work. It almost looks like a "hot rod" version of the radio.
