[Music in a bottle]

The cracks are so fine, you cannot even see them unless you are up on the cabinet real close. I think it's mostly caused by the way they ran the grain with the curve of the cathedral, front to back. As a carpenter of a couple decades plus, I can only shudder at the thought that anyone would run the grain that way, but it is easier to bend! Just flies in the face of logic from a structural standpoint. Of course, I understand full well, that the Philco model 70 was an entry level radio, perhaps akin to the Chinese crap of today, only in a 1930s sort of classy way! So, Exray. Where would you get that solution of the vintage whereof you speak? I just thought I'd give that a try, and report my findings. Our other Philco console, the model of which I have no idea, actually has the veneer peeling on two portions, slightly, which are rounded at the corners. Much to my surprise, undernieth the peeling veneer is solid wood that has a real nice appearance. I'm tempted to gently remove the peeling veneer, to refinish the wood below. Good idea or no?
