    This is the Marconi model 138 as I received it . The top was quite a mess with the veneer lifting and bubbling. I used tite bond wood glue diluted with water, so it would go in a syringe. I injected the glue under the veneer and clamped it down until it was dry. Several different times I had to do this. but these old radios are worth it ,,Especially when they end up looking good. Enjoy
