Model 50A rebuild
#25

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?
