It may need a lightning bolt to get it playing againIcon_lol ...

Actually, I got very lucky here. Whoever did the previous repair, they did an excellent job. All of the parts are there and they all fit well. They used the right amount of glue too, which is important. I think the cabinet sustained additional damage in shipping. Shippers always destroy the grills because of the weight of the speaker. If you ever ship a radio, be sure to support the speaker.

I've been gluing additional pieces to the inside of the cabinet. I should have an update later. Hopefully, this cabinet will be stripped later today.
