I have uploaded some pictures of this radio and now I've realized that the cabinet is described as "Leather / canvas / plastic - but WOOD beneath!" But in reality this set has no wood at all. The cabinet is leather (cowhide) with some hard cardboard attached on the back and front, the rest of it its just plain leather with no inner structure of any kind.

Checking the options when uploading a new model, I also discovered that there is no option for "leather only" cabinets. Perhaps we should add such a description?
