Ron's RCA T7-5 Cabinet Rescue
#5

So, after gluing the inner veneer on both sides, here is how the T7-5 looks now:

The next challenges: To reglue the top in back where it is peeling away:

and the top veneer in front which is also peeling away a little bit:

I will reattach the bottom to the cabinet first before tackling those jobs, however.

I tried some paint stripper on the top "shoulders" of the cabinet. Most of the stripper merely soaked into the wood. It still does not look good. Wood bleach is now on order.
