Philco 40-160 Cabinet and Veneer
#1

I started the other day on cleaning up the cabinet of my 40-160F and it's just so beautiful underneath all that grime and gook. I was really impressed to see the detail of the grain on the top of the cabinet. I posted a couple of pictures at my blog http://myrestorations.blogspot.com. You can see the before and after photo, just amazing.

The veneer on one side of the cabinet is chipped a little bit and breaking away in one corner. Any thoughts on gluing down and leaving it as-is versus applying new veneer? It almost seems sometimes to me that the new veneer would help increase the value of the radio, but I'm not positive about that.
