Hello everyone, and especially Aaran, When I suggested steaming the cabinet in a pot, I didn't mean cooking it until it was cellulose mush. At no more than 10 minutes steaming, only the thin porous veneer will have the opportunity to absorb any appreciable amount of moisture. It sucks it in like a sponge! The heavier wood components will not have had enough time to moisten anything but their surface. I used this method to repair an antique mahogany jewelry box for a friend that had gotten soaked in a basement flood and stretched apart very similarly to this radio. It worked great. Just another two cents worth. Take care, Gary
