I've broken the cabinet down as much as I can and have been gluing all the separated veneer.
The veneer has separated at virtually every edge. I wonder what happened to this cabinet - high humidity, heat, crappy glue ?
Here's some of the original finish. I've ordered up some Dark Walnut Mohawk toner lacquer - should be a good match. I'll try golden oak for the center board.
I also picked up some new speaker cloth from AES that is a perfect match to the old fragments. Here's a dry run.
Here's the old filter capacitor. It's pre-electrolytic so that huge box just has a 2 MFD, 3 MFD, 3MFD and 0.05 MFD in there. The new ones are a little bit smaller
I'd like to remove that old block of tar but it's being stubborn. I figure it will shave at least 5 pounds off the weight if I can get it out
I've tried a heat gun and the oven. Only got the first layer of tar out so far.
