Philco 37-10 Console
#9

Hi,
Great looking set! Regarding the veneer bubbles. This is a fairly simple problem to fix so you shouldn't be too afraid to tackle it. A razor slit in the entire middle of the bubble. Depending on the size you may be able to slide something under and scrape around gently to remove the old glue (and dirt if it was an open bubble). See of you can get your hands on a syringe fill with slit as far inside the bubble as you can. Find a very thin piece of metal or plastic that will slip under the bubble and smear it around under there. You can't get too much glue so smear a few tries. Then press down on it to push out the excess glue...HAVE A WET CLOTH HANDY. Push out as much as you can by hand. The glue that squishes put can be easily wiped up with the wet cloth. Not so wet though that you soak the area with water. Then weight down the repair by placing wax paper directly onto the repair then place a flat stiff item like a suitable size piece of wood. Etc. Weight the heck out of the flat board. (of course not so much as crush your radio!) Have a good night's sleep, get up, have your coffee and take a look at your repaired radio. The repair will be invisible.

If the bubble is in a place that makes it possible to clamp instead of weighting down..that works too. Don't forget the wax paper... otherwise you just added a chunk of wood to your radio.

One last thing type "repair veneer into YOUTUBE's search window and you'll find a guy doing just what i described. Good Luck... it is really pretty easy.
