I don't mind putting the work I to it but it would have saved me a lot of time if someone made reproductions. Tab10672 you say that it was darker around the grille area originally? It looks to have a walnut finish. Because its so delicate, I guess I will have to take off the veneer that is missing wood under it then build up the wood underneath then re apply the veneer and replace missing pieces. Also I will have to glue it all in a press because everything intact is warped. Must have gotten wet at some point. I was surprised to find it working before its been restored electrically. That's going to happen before I work on the cabinet.
