Hi Mike & Welcome!
I had a model 87 back in the '60's I got at a estate sale. It too needed a top. At the time my mom knew a cabinet maker that replaced it for us (I was in my early teens back then). Great set ! I have a tv friend Bob Anderson who has had a few videos on youtube about veneer replacement. Currently he is replacing the top on a 1949 Philco 12" B/W tv . Lots of good tips!

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!
