40-158 Veneer question- Updated-Finished!
#2

That's tough problem to fix. General consensus is you can try gluing but most of the time it will reappear after a while. Diehards will remove the veneer which in your case is a pretty big piece. Sometimes the the wood under the veneer is cracking too so that may need to replaced also. If I was going to remove the veneer I would cut it between the two inlays.
I was recently gifted a very similar set (40-165K) at has an extra band and pushbuttons. I've been very happy w/the performance of the set. Good sounding and good sensitivity. This one was missing the spkr so I ended up fitting w/a 15" RCA pm job and an old junk box choke to replace the field coil. If you could use a couple of pics of the dial escutcheon I can post them. It's shrunk a little and a couple of the corners are missing but still presentable.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
