May overload some with this update.
Part1
Repair made on this binfront.  I wanted to save this front if i could. work real good.




better pic of textured repair.


Part2
All levels assembled, but missing some glass. In the vid i misspoke about cleaning up parting seams at 25% of all the fronts. Should be about 10% of the fronts needed seam clean up. IMO.
I need to oil my swivel chair!
Latest progress video. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ere52KHKjlg



Part3
Working on topper.
Repaired stringball cage standard replacing loose leaf that somehow remained with the cabinet and lucky enough to find. The other 3 standards didn't have that lowest decoration.  Only the left and right standard of the center patent badge had the leaf.


The topper tray was tinplate, I may go with something different.


Came across a 3rd design cabinet that i think manufactured by Joliet manufacturing. Why need glass windows and fancy cast window frames when the bin is marked with the size? Prolly not Victorian.

A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.
