I have a bakelite radio cabinet that has a sizeable chunk out of the bottom. I thought about using fiberglass and Bondo but decided to try something different. I had some acrylic of the sort used in storm doors. This comes in various thicknesses and the piece I chose was the same thickness as the bakelite. Some careful cutting and shaping and I had a "puzzle piece" that fit the bakelite perfectly. I glued it in with J-B Weld. Then it took some sanding to blend it in with the original surface. Auto body glazing compound could be used if needed, and the whole of course painted.
That's a pretty big chunk out of that TV cabinet but I'll bet if you had to, some acrylic backed with some ingenious stiffening bars would do it.
