Hi Terry, there is some cracking where the top of the cabinet curves back but not too noticeable unless you are up close. My other Philco 37-116 radio has a perfect cabinet with no veneer issues. I started to derust areas of the chassis using Rustoleum rust removing gel and masked off and cleaned the power transformer then painted it--also removed and repainted the audio driver transformer and power supply choke. Tomorrow, I'll be removing the RF unit to get ready to replace caps and repair the band #2 oscillator coil. I got my order from Radio Daze of multicolor cloth covered wire to replace the crumbling wiring in the radio. Ken
