Beomaster 8000: Repair of a Chipped Veneer Corner

One more thing needed to get tidied up before the Beomaster 8000 that I just finished restoring could join its friends, the Beogram 8000 and the Beocord 9000 in our living room: The front right corner of the front veneer panel was damaged:

Unfortunately, it is quite difficult, maybe even impossible, to find this type of rosewood veneer these days. So I decided to give it a try to fix this corner instead of replacing the entire veneer strip. I still had some teak veneer from earlier experiments with rebuilding the veneer panels of a Beomaster 1900 that I was given at some point with all veneer strips missing. I did some 'microsurgery' using this veneer after I thinned it down to the approximate thickness of the 8000 veneer strips. I cut appropriate small pieces and glued them into the veneer gap. After that I used drawing pencils to color the wood in a rosewood-similar hue:

The outcome: Not 100% perfect, but pretty good in my opinion. One of those flaws that people will only see after one points it out to them. Definitely much better than before!
