Ok, 
The front had a design of flowers but that was easily removed.
The one side has a veneer lift that someone glued but it was not level so it sanded through the toner.
I would love to spot repair it but that is up to Sam.

I will strip it down and re-tone it tomorrow..

See Sam, It's not all about Mike  Icon_lol

Terry, Yours is so buried that I will not get to it for a month or 2..  Icon_crazy

I am taking full advantage of this day!

I got up at the butt crack of dawn and started on these 4 cabinets... 
I ended up stripping off the side finish as the sanding was too deep for me to color match.
I re-toned it and am now clearing the whole cabinet!

What radio is it?
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

The M-22 is a 2.9v crystal so it will probably be best to rebuild it..
I dont have any done right now sorry.

Done 99%
I cant rot or buff out the finish. The curing process needs mucho time so you will have to wax it up in a fe weeks Sam.
