Thanks. I'm a pretty good tech, but a pretty bad woodworker. I'm afraid that it will never look as good as many of the radios I've seen on the Phorum. The best I'll be able to do is make it look a bit less terrible. I will take some shots of the spots of missing veneer. In the top pic here, you can see a large section missing on the base at center-right. The top has a couple odd pieces. I've done veneer repair before, and it looked 'better', but certainly not original.
As far as the chassis, most of the electronic restoration has already been done. I have some resistors and one of the cap can on the back of the (inside) of the chassis. I got that done a lot faster and neater thanks to tips I've gotten on the Phorum, things like restuffing the bakelite blocks in-place. I wish I had the skills (artistry) to do things like make the new resistors look like dogbones.
Anyway.. thanks to all for your help and encouragement.
