As for repairing the holes. I'd try some wood filler and stain. You don;t need to steel strength of JB Weld. Plus you could remove the filler fairly easily if it doesn't look right. Colored wax or shellac filler stick is another option. Treat it like a damaged piece of wood furniture in other words.

Bob has suggested a good alternative. Knobs and good chassis etc. are kinda essential. Tubes and a CRT can always show up... eventually.
