Hi everyone, I recently picked up a 40-180 off craigslist for a whopping $30 and the condition is pretty good overall (rust free chassis, supple rubber)  but the cabinet's veneer is going to need a couple of little patches. Not really being much of a cabinet or wood guy I'm not sure what I should pick up to use as a patch material for the eventual "someday" I get around to working on it.

here's a few photos of the areas in need of patching.

My second question is about the dial, I've seen flaking and paint loss before on the back painted philco slide rule dials but never this "waviness" any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your insights and advice everyone Icon_smile
