the top is 1/4 sliced American Black Walnut, with butt walnut on the instrument panel

Thanks Ron! Very, useful info. Have you come across this model before? I've seen a 15, but never a 15DX.

I'm going to stop by Wood World in Chicago with your information and see what they have in walnut. They might have the molding too. It's a simple enough profile.

There are only two small pieces missing from the tambour doors. I think I can salvage a patches from the skirt veneer. That whole skirt veneer needs to be replaced anyway. Looks like that's butt or burled walnut.

That leaves me with trying to match the stain & finish. I really don't want to refinish the whole set - it's in too good of a condition for that. I'll purchase some extra veneer for experimenting.

I still need to examine and test the speakers more thoroughly before choosing a course of action. The cones are actually in better shape than I expected, but probably beyond simple patching. The speaker frames have some surface rust, but not too bad. The lower VC is a bit loose as well.

Thanks for pointing out the links.
