Help! Does anyone have a photo or advertisement of this Grebe cabinet? I have searched everywhere but can only find references and poor photos of the "Deluxe" cabinet, which is different. I'm missing the doors and would like to see what they originally looked like in order to try and duplicate. If not, I'll have to try and copy from some other period cabinet.
Nearly every joint in this cabinet was loose enough to completely disassemble with just a little gentle persuasion. Almost all edges of the veneered boards needed gluing. Because the cabinet was in such poor shape, I decided to tackle it before the radio since if it turned out to be beyond repair, there was no use in working on the radio. This is the first time I tried such an extensive cabinet repair, but it turned out ok. Certainly not museum quality, but good enough for my satisfaction. I would like to make some doors, though.
