Hi All,

The veneer on my radio is starting to come loose. Is there a glue I can use to reglue it on that anyone can recommend, plus a way to do it?

Yes this can be repaired. There are several vintage radio and vintage furniture sites that have the information. I believe it involves glue and a hot iron then careful staining and lacquer or varnish depending what the original finish was.

You may be able to find someone local who can do it. I would start by asking around some antique shops.

Here's an example of restoring heavily damaged Telefunken Choral case. Unfortunatelly in Slovak language, but there is also a lot of pictures. Gluing veneer included.

Where are you located? There may be a nearby radio club, and the forum at antiqueradios.com is an excellent resource.
