Can anybody give me some pointers on repairing this old Bakelite?? I searched the archives and found a link to a video (from 2006) but it has been removed. I found a good step by step about a year ago but now I can't find it.
Any help would be appreciated since the electronics are almost done (over behind cabinet), so I thought it was time to put together a game plan on cabinet repair. I am okay on wood but never repaired Bakelite but I am familiar with its properties.

Thanks,

Dave
