First, I dealt with some open joints and loose glue blocks and veneer separation.

A few minutes with some steel wool and a 50/50 mix of lacquer thinner and acetone took care of the remaining traces of old finish.

I thought I was done with the gluing, but noticed some more separation around the speaker.

Time for the grain filler. Luckily, I still have about half a can of Constantines left.
