Yes, and they are not a "dime/dozen" - if you could find a dozen.
I was just dealing with a rare radio, so rare that it has not been properly identified, anywhere. It has a crack in the arc on the right side. Not large, but you can see it if you look - and I do. It was caused by poor construction. It looks like they left a gap along that whole arc making the bent plywood unstable. I could have fixed it. It would have required the replacement of the front/sides along with the veneer - so probably about half the cabinet or about 3/4 of what a person sees. If these were common, it would have been OK to fix, but, on a rare radio it was better to make it look as good as possible and try to look elsewhere as I walk by.
More to come on Parmak 525.
