Grundig 3028 Cabinet Restore

[Geaney]

                        I thought I'd post this here for anyone interested in the woodwork side of things. The cab has suffered some abuse over the years so hopefully I can get it looking OK without having to re-veneer. I've removed the brightwork and stripped all the finish. Apart from the damage to the top there is also damage to the lower edge. I'm not sure how I'll address that. The major issue to be sorted first is the major dip in the top panel. I clamped it straight for a few days but no luck. Now I've removed the original rear top brace and replaced it with a hardwood one of larger dimensions and glued it in place with a straight edge reference. I'm hopping the glue will hold it straight. If it works I can get on to the rest of the repair then think about finish.....

Cheers,

John
BTW, the chassis now works but a lot of cab work before I put it back together again.
