Yeah, I think I would run a thin line of clear super glue along the edges of the strips to keep what's there in place. It's turning out great!!

Thanks. I stabilized the strips with some glue and got it reinstalled. That just leaves the speaker grille in the top of the cabinet.

Almost finished... The I was getting ready to reinstalled the speaker board when I noticed it had delaminated badly and was rusty. So I took it apart, glued up the board, stripped and refinished the metal.

Not exactly a prefect match to the real wood, but neither was the original.

Nice. That is going to be a very handsome tabletop.

Is that a Westinghouse-designed chassis or did it use a Philco-licensed chassis like my H-181?

Thanks. It's a Philco licensed chassis I believe. Very similar to a Philco 48-1001 except that it uses miniature 7 and 9 pin tubes rather than loktals and octals.
