Congratulations, Captain, nice find. I am not a woodworking expert, so I can't be of much help on the veneer. I see you will need the buttons too, those can be bought new as reproductions. I have never seen that "wavy" situation of the dial glass. I am not sure how that could happen other than when it was actually made. You can get reproduction dials too, but they will be plastic, not glass. Best of luck to you with this project. I look forward to reading about your progress. Judging by the call letters on the buttons, I would say this set was from the Northeast, probably near Boston. Am I right ?
