Well, the good news is that the new veneer is held in place properly and that its coloration will be very similar to the rest of the radio.

The bad news is that I had splatter issues with the toner, not orange peel but not perfect. I think it had to do with the weather being too low, there has been snow in several areas around here.
Trying to resolve the issue only ended up making things worst. I am out of toner and it looks weird. I guess I'll call it done for this season, and re-strip + re-finish in spring.
