Hi Folks.  I started working on my first Philco, a model 89 code 123, and as you can see the veneer on the top is totally gone and the sides are buckled and separating.  What's the best way to remove the veneer completely (I'm guessing that's the best option) and where can I find a good replacement.  Many of the veneers that I have seen are almost paper thin while the original looks to be about 1/32" thick.  Also I'm not sure about the wood type.  Walnut maybe?
