Here is our little cabinet after a date with the stripper! .. Looking better, but broke and lonely. Icon_lol

Actually, this radio is looking better than I thought it would. The veneer looks great. It's a pretty solid cabinet, and I'm happy with the chassis. This might not be so bad... The big step will be bending that top back down and gluing it. If that goes bad, and it breaks - game over. ... Keep your fingers crossed..
