1936 116-122 Cabinet Restoration
#12

I repaired the dents, scratches, and the veneer. I applied the grain filler, sanded it down, then stained it. I then went over it with some toner. Next I'll do the black inside, then the dark brown trim, then sealer, then top coats.

I do have another question about the cabinet though. It concerns the dial cover. It seems I'm missing a small rectangular tan piece that goes onto the backside of the glass dial cover for the shadow meter. Can anybody give me some details on this little piece of plastic? How is it attached to the glass dial cover? I've seen pictures of the backside of a 116X cabinet and I can see the tan colored plastic on the back of the dial glass but can't make out any details on how it is attached.

Thanks.

Crist
