Promised update, with photos to follow soon. The cherry Restore-a-Finish did a great job hiding the numerous scratches. I patched in as best as I could with the pieces of veneer "PuhPow" kindly sent me. I then filled in the gaps with walnut TimberMate and blended it all with the Howard's. Much improved! You can still see the damage if you look closely, but it is much less obvious. The radio now sits proudly in my living room; it is a beautiful piece!
