Started the restore on my Philco 40-180.
#1

Got it up on the bench, there's a lot more dings in it that I thought. But still workable. The whole top center , and face plate some one had tried to take out by removing some screws, but never replaced them. It actually came off pretty easy. Now I noticed what looks like a plastic plate that went from one side to the other with 2 screws on each side. The middle is missing just the corners are left. Does anyone know what that was? Here's a picture:

Also the veneer on both sides of the speaker are in pretty bad shape I may have to replace quite a bit of it.

What do you think, should I try to just replace the bad parts, or replace the whole strip?
