40-158 Veneer question- Updated-Finished!
#1

Hi gentlemen, I got a 40-158 that I purchased from a highschool classmate for $40. I will need to make a new bezel for it, because they are apparently made from unobtainium. I think if I take my time I can make something from wood that will be pretty nice. My question is regarding the top/front veneer right in the curvature where it has split and is separating on each side. See the photos below. How would one go about repairing these? I'm thinking somehow trying to get some glue in there and trying to clamp it to pull it in. I want to understand the best way to attack this. I plan to probably strip this unit down and refinish it in original finishes.
