I picked up this 49-901 on ebay cheap (I was the only bidder 
) because the cabinet is really beat up. It has a hold and cracks on the top and every corner of the base is cracked.

I can uderstand how the top damaged might have happened, but not the chipped on base edge. Did someone try to pry it open ?!?
That's going to take tedious work to repair.

My plan is to clean up the cracks with acetone, clamp and use super glue. Then some fiberglass mesh and JB Weld tp patch the hole. Also use JB Weld to build up the chipped edges and any other damage. Then sand it all smooth, prime and paint. Perhaps a color similar to the original green Philco offered.
