My new American Bosch 460R console
#5

Kirk,
  At least it looks like the majority of the veneer is still there and undamaged, so some patient and judicious use of a hypodermic needle, bar clamps, and large gluing blocks covered in plastic should make it right again. Of course this will take a lot of time, and you will probably have to take the cabinet apart to reglue most of it, but it is feasible. Fixing the veneer around the speaker grill will be the most difficult part in terms of getting the grain to match without it looking like an obvious patch.
  As for the speaker American Bosch was a smaller company so they more then likely bought speakers from an outside supplier like Magnavox, Utah, Jensen, Lansing, Rolla, or Quam, or what have you. I think they liked Magnavox speakers, at least the Canadian Northern Electric made clones liked Magnavox in some years.
Regards
Arran
