Welcome to the Phorum!
Icon_wave

I would take some time to read through a few of the many cabinet refinishing threads on the phorum to get a feel for techniques that folks use.  It takes some skill to do a really nice refinish but everyone has to start at the beginning to develop that skill.  I looked around for one of my restorations for an example of filling in those missing veneer pieces on the back edge.  My 84B restoration had some that I photographed if you scroll through it. I've been using Timbermate wood filler (walnut) for this type of job.
Cheers,
Bob

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
