Thanks, Arran, I appreciate your response. Yes, I am aware that there was no mahogany veneer, I hand selected the veneer available at Woodcraft for its reasonably-faithful 'match' for the grain on my radio.
I don't have a vacuum press, so I'm stuck with having to "make do."
Perhaps my efforts are going to prove a bit "sub standard" as compared to most of the restorations I see on the Phorum... I'm not striving for 100% (or as near as practical to) originality; I'm working toward an attractive, fully-functional piece that can transport me back to 1945! Even so, so far, I'm having a lot of fun working on this old beauty, and I truly appreciate the info and guidance from you and the others on the Phorum!!
