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!

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.
