This grille looked every bit as bad as yours, I used Purple cleaner, Lime Away, Naval jelly and a wire brush to get rid of the tarnish and discoloration, it's solid brass so it's quite durable.

You take it out by removing the screws inside the cabinet, then the whole thing comes out, I believe there was a light amount oc contact adhesive holding it together but mine fell right apart.

Both of mine have some flaws in the brown paint that I will have to touch up but the Hallicrafters name is in decent shape at least.

The middle pictures shows it with the Brass grille removed.
