Airline 62-181 finished--Thanks, Reece.

Finished the cabinet a few weeks ago. Found a woodworking shop and they helped me find a matching veneer. Used Reece's suggested 'iron-on' technique and the results were perfect.

I also sanded out minor defects in the other veneers and re-laquered them. Stripped the rest down to bare wood, stained, and polyurethaned. Found a perfect setting for the radio:

Now I'm trying to turn this Stromberg-Carlson 400H Rust Bucket in a presentable set:

Got a surprisingly good result with the frame:

The cabinet is in good condition, but the speaker cone is badly torn and has some shoddy previous repairs.

Thanks again for all the help with the Airline.
