Beomaster 1900 Type 2904: Cosmetic repair - side trim replacements

Before reassembling this Beomaster 1900 for testing I took a little time to replace the two "wood" side trim pieces. Actually, the trim pieces on these Beomaster 1900 units are a plastic base to which a thin rosewood veneer is applied.

The rosewood veneer on this Beomaster has started to peel and has some unsightly damage. I had originally hoped to save it but there is just too much deterioration of the veneer.




























There are areas where the rosewood is missing so just re-glueing what is left wouldn't do much good in my opinion. The plastic base pieces can be saved and reused in the future. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to find, cut and glue new veneer onto the plastic bases...but I'll save that for a future project.

On this project I am taking the two side trim pieces off a parts Beomaster 1900. It works out well for this project because my parts unit is missing its front trim veneer but the side trim pieces are perfectly intact.

Here they are installed on this Beomaster 1900.
