I have saved old veneer off old shot cabinets and other furniture pieces and always have pieces to fix small places like yours. The best thing about "old" is that it is usually the same thickness as the radio cabinets of that era. Shouldn't matter what type you put on because it all will be toned the same color on that edge.
