16B cathedral cabinet face and arch
#3

Steve, the front panels can sometimes be a little difficult to break loose from the arch. If you just use brute force it will pull some veneer from the front panel. You may need to work a razor blade between the panel and arch to break it loose.

The front arch on some Philco cathedrals were made in two pieces and joined with a corrugated joiner. These arches almost always separate. Other cabinets (sometimes the same model) they made the arch one piece, with continuous banding across the joint. These cabinets never have the problem. 
It might be worth a try to glue and clamp the arch back together. It would be a major project, but the best repair would be to take the cabinet apart, remove the veneer from the arch,cut the banding back and reinstall banding across the joint. 
Here are some pictures of an early 89B that I made this repair.
