August 26.
The base of the T7-5 cabinet was very loose. Since the inner sides needed to be glued down, I decided to remove the base to make gluing the inner side veneer easier.

A little bit of the inner veneer between the dial opening and tuning shaft hole was also loose, and a small piece had come off. I have glued all that back together as well.
Tomorrow, I hope to glue the other side of the inner side veneer. You can see how loose and curled up it is - the side which is currently clamped down was worse. Once both sides have been glued and dried, the base will be reinstalled.
This cabinet is really in bad shape and is going to be quite the challenge. It is going to need veneer on one entire side, and a couple strips of veneer on the bottom of the other side.
