Cabinet question.
My 50a was picked up from a bus stop in Victoria, BC. Seriously.
The cabinet is delaminated to the extreme….say 60-80%.
I figure this is fine unit to start to learn how to repair and refinish the woodwork (plus this give me an excuse to purchase even more tools like a selection of C clamps).
It looks like a previous owner stained the cabinet. It might even have been painted OR was this entry level radio painted at the factory?
Opinions and experience most welcome!
PS: veneer is missing in sections. I will need to purchase new veneer to cut and fit. Should I purchase walnut or mahogany?
