I picked up two radios for $20 today.  A Philco 650 and a Kennedy.  I'm not sure where to begin with the veneer on the 650.  It's completely split on the corners.  The rest of the cabinet doesn't seem too bad.  Is there anyway to patch the corners or is it more of a complete rewrap situation?  This is my first restoration like this so any help would be great.  Also, if anyone knows any info on the Kennedy I would love to know it.
