40-190 chipped veneer
#2

It's hard to tell from the photos just how bad the damage is. You can repair it yourself. There are several videos on youtube about veneer repair. If it's just the lacquer that's chipped off, you can refinish that spot pretty easily. If the veneer is chipped away, you need to replace it. I've had good luck using small pieces of salvaged veneer cut to fit the missing places, then glued into place. After that, you can use toner and some clear lacquer to try match everything up. Keep in mind that a repair is always visible, no matter how well it is done. The scratches on top can easily be fixed by using some finish restorer.

If you don't have any extra veneer to work with, send me a PM with your address. I've got a trashed Philco console with peeling veneer. I'll send some your way.
