Update on 38-5 restoration, Almost ready for cabinet!
#1

Not sure exactly where to put this since it is not quite chassis and not quite cabinet, so if this is the wrong location, can the moderators please move it?

I recently picked up a 38-5X console with the typical badly peeling veneer issues on the two pilasters.  I can either repair this cabinet, or find a replacement cabinet.  I may have found a replacement 38-5 tabletop cabinet in fair condition, but it does not have a speaker.  The two use different speakers, the table top is smaller.  I have no idea what size it might be.  So my options right now are re-veneer the console (no experience with veneer, not much experience with spray paint, and none with spray lacquer) or find a replacement speaker for the tabletop version.  I suspect the cost will be about the same either way, maybe slightly more for the tabletop since there will be some shipping. So I am looking for advice.

Thanks,
TerryMSU
