I recently was gifted a 40-170CS, I have the chassis rebuilt and working great.  The cabinet is solid but needs refinished.  The one issue I have with it though is some cracking on one of the rounded corners of the cabinet.  Much like the waterfall on the front of a console radio, the wood panel gets thinner to make the curve and is under stress.  It was stored under a desk in a shop for years and I am guess someone might have bumped that one corner a couple times.

The cracks seem only to penetrate the top one or two layers of the plywood.  I am trying to figure out the best way to repair the cracks and try and get the wood back into shape.  Any ideas are appreciated!
