All done!
I steal veneer off of a Philco 42-1206 console cabinet. It was a typical Craigslist find... cabinet was water damaged and destroyed. No way to save it and no one would ever want it... except me. I got it for $10. Each time I need veneer, I go peel some off of it. Wayyy cheaper than buying new veneer. Great for small repairs.
Next time you are at a garage sale, flea market, etc... look for an old table or cabinet with really bad peeling veneer damage. You can pick up something like that for $5. Then you'll have a supply for your radios.
Thanks for looking and I hope this helps someone out. Once again, there are other methods that work too. This is just the way I do it. If you have a better way, let me know!
