Here is the 32B tombstone cabinet - the future home of the Super 89 chassis - in progress.

I've added a piece of quarter-round where one was missing above the front panel, and have also done a lot of gluing. Believe me, it looks a lot better in this photo than it really is. Still need to stabilize one of the grille cutouts, the one at center right where there is an obvious break. Also need to fill some cracks and defects, then sand down and refinish. I am going to try and save the finish on the front panel if I can.
