40-165 Radiobar Zephyr restoration
#2

The liquor cabinet door was bent at a severe angle.  To repair this a woodworker friend of mine made a series of cuts on the back side and inserted wedges to straighten the door.

To fix the horrible patch on the front bar door my friend cut out a knot of burled walnut veneer that matched pretty well and glued it in place.  Since the veneer was bookmarked he hand  painted a mirror image of the knot on the other door.

The other veneer patch was much easier to repair.

Here it is ready for re-finishing

To repair the crushed antenna I made a plywood and presentation board sleeve to restore the shape of the shield.

More to come soon.
