There's about a 3/8" oblong "puncture wound" in one of the side panels of the 27KC20's "Woodgrain photo on Masonite" cabinet along with several deep scratches, so the preliminary assessment is that I'll need to have new top and side panels made from 1/8" Cabinet Grade plywood, sealed with several coats of sanding sealer on the inside to prevent warping from the heat of the tubes, and glued to the original frame and moldings. It seems that only the inner frame, wood moldings, bottom, and legs of the original cabinet will be reusable. At least unless there's a way to close up the hole in the side and apply a new "photo" finish to the three original panels at reasonable cost. Barring that, I don't see any way to avoid a non-original cabinet for this set.
