Will still need a casting expert Terry, you aint off the hook yet.

Managed to use Gorilla wood glue to attach them.  Seems to work very well. 

I had a bad continuous crackling in the audio.  Got a new (kinda), well new to me, audio transformer from Gary at Play Things of the Past.  Cured the problem.  Listening to the NY - Baltimore game now.  Seems to be ok.  I'm resisting the urge to do the neutrodyne alignment since its working.  

Will give the cabinet a once over with some Briwax. 

I'm pretty happy with it. 

Thanks for all the feed back everyone.
