Default Re: Any AMBASSADOR Experts ?

Sounds a good idea, Sam.
Now that the old phooked cabinet has been stripped of its mahogany veneer, I'm wondering what conditions encouraged de-lamination in the first place ? Cos it came away with very little effort. But, there is no evidence of excessive dampness or moisture ingress. Perhaps the original animal glue was inadequately applied in the first place back in 1947. I'm really surprised that Fitton's cabinet makers didn't re-enforce the corners with some quadrant.
The donor also had a decent un-scratched frequency dial glass, thankfully.

Regards, David
