[NJARC] Veneer Source

[TrainBee]

Rob and friends...  These are the before photos.  This is the way I found it in a rummage sale.  No Tubes and the Vol/on-off control was missing.  Radio Daze came through.  I have everything else to restore it.  As you can see, somewhat, the veneer is pretty bad.  If you can resize the photo, you will see it.  The convex sides are blistered.  The top and bottom will need to be reglued.  Aside from that, it's pretty nice.  Reception is so-so on AM and as for SW, well you know there isn't much to get these days.  
Tube complement is:  6SA7 Osc/Mod, 6SQ7 Det, AVC, 1st AF, 6SK7 IF Amp, 25Z6 Rectifier, 25L6 Output, K55B (W46773) Ballast Tube.  The only schematic I could find was in Riders 12-10.  

Whenever I get it finished, I'll send some more photos and I'll see about another article.

Hey Joe
I have bought from http://www.rockler.com/psa-pressure-sensitive-veneer-new-sizes-24-inch-x-96-inch.
Rockler has a good selection.
I'm sure you know, but the real trick is matching new stain on the new veneer to the old radio color.  I buy extra so I can test color matches.
The Crosley 18AN is a beautiful radio.  I'd love to see your before and after pics.

Does anyone have an online source for Veneer?  I have to replace the veneer on a Crosley 18AN.  There is just no saving what is on there.  My local places here in Maine haven't worked out.

Thanks,
Joe Devonshire
