Getting a Philco 70 tomorrow
#6

Are there pieces of veneer missing from the arch or is the veneer just lifting? If it's only lifting see if you can get a hold of a hypodermic needle of the type they include in inkjet printer cartridge refill kits, the syringe is about a 1/2 inch across and the needle maybe 1/32 across. I use one of these to inject yellow glue under lifting veneer and then clamp it with a stiff block covered with either wax paper or plastic, saran wrap or a plastic bag, so the veneer doesn't stick to the block. I think the veneer used on the arch may have been Australian walnut or some type of mahogany, the control panel looks like plain cut french walnut veneer.
Regards
Arran
