It rained all weekend, so I did not get anywhere with my RCA 6T2 or Philco 66B cabinets.

However, I did make a little progress on my T7-5 cabinet.

First, a look at the back of the cabinet showing the end result of all that gluing and clamping:

The left side, which is missing all of its veneer, had several gouged areas. Between conventional wood putty and Timber Mate, I think I have managed to fill all of the gouges:

And I figured out how to glue down part of the front edge of the top veneer:

I still need to remove the remaining glue residue.

This leaves the right front corner of the top veneer which still needs to be glued down:

I will use the same technique I used to glue down the left corner: a bar clamp with one jaw against the top right grille opening (well padded with folded up paper to help protect the grille opening) and the other jaw against the top veneer, as close to the corner as possible.

This cabinet is slowly coming together (literally). Now I really have to figure out just how to attach new veneer to the left side. I have plenty of veneer. I just need to come up with a suitable plan for gluing and clamping.
