Now that I've finished the electrical restoration, I'm turning my attention to the cabinet. The photo finish is fair, but the rest is falling apart.

The dial has seen better days too.

So first I glue and clamped all the loose joints as best I could. Then I picked up some basswood for the bottom edge molding and popcicle sticks for the missing laminations around the front edge.

Out of the blue, phorum member "jmac3ky" contacted me and donated a new dial glass and bezel to the project Icon_thumbup

Next up, I need to deal with this warped split in one side. I figure I'll try steaming and clamping it.
