I am finishing the cabinet on a 42-380 and the instrument panel was carved up by an experimenter so I repaired it but now need to get a piece of veneer to re-cover it.

Does anyone know what type of wood veneer was used originally. It looks like it might be mahogany.

Also I just got a model 70 cathedral which when it was shipped to me the speaker tore loose and broke up the speaker grille wood pretty badly. I think I found all the bits but would it be practical to try to repair it or does anyone make a replacement?

Thanks,

Steve D
