Edit: On second glance, it looks like they hacked up the old Ware cabinet to have the bezels match properly!
I think it's a cool cabinet too and in pretty good shape. The joints seem to be strong and square.

They did appear to salvage as much as possible from the Ware. Possibly the speaker board and grill cloth as well as the area around the bezel and knob. The placement of the volume control is close to the original.

Here's a closer look at the chassis. I like the color coded tube sockets
