Don't know Ron, might be worth a try.  Here's a pic of the two sides after the treatment and some glue and clamping. I'll put a little Timbermate wood filler to fill the missing portions:

and the cabinet stripped and waiting for better weather to spray.

Moving on to the chassis...this pig is ugly and will not be easy to work on.  Initially I saw the missing metal cap can and the two big replacement caps and thought those must be the two filter caps....wrong.  After tracing wires they did not seem to be in the right spot and eventually I found they were caps #14 and 25 in the SCHEMATIC.

I have yet to locate the filter caps but did realize that the speaker is a PM replacement which means somewhere in there the previous work must deal with the missing field coil.  The small box in the center of the next photo (with the silver electrolytic tacked on) is, I believe, cap#33, an 8uF cap.  So...more digging into it later...
