Thanks Gents for the replies.

The veneer is still tight on top and bottom. I also think the radio must have been stored someplace that was damp for the ends to come apart like they did. There is a little warp to the lid just enough to were it wont lay flat to the bottom nothing I can do about that. As for the splits I ended up filling them with some wood filler and sanding everything smooth. The wood around the top gets toned much darker the the center so I hope this will cover the filler well enough.
