Veneer repair and finish advice for Philco 14MX
#7

I' m sure I can get the trim made, that's no real worry. I found the same ad and saw where it said black trim. I have a bigger problem though. While looking it over, I noticed that the side panels have warped. If I put a straightedge across them and there is a concave bow to them of about 1/8" on one side and a little more on the other. I have the sides strapped and clamped as flat as I can get them for now and I'll leave them for several days in the hope the panels will flatten out somewhat. If not I may have to put some sort of bracing, possibly like oak or hickory, and screw them to the inside to pull them flat, or get new panels made by someone who is a professional cabinet maker. The bracing would detract from the originality of course.
