So here is a question to those that have worked on restoring Marantz cases. I have two.. one came with a 2226B and one came with a 2285B. Both are OEM and were sold with the case. In the 2285B case, it does not have the metal shield at all and the screw holes for it were never used ( still has paint on the edges where the screws would have gone).
The question is this. The 2226B case is MDF with veneer which is like most cases I've seen. The 2285B on the other hand is plywood, not MDF complete with reinforcement blocks glued in place ( like my radios from the 30s and 40s)
Has anyone taken the veener off a plywood case? Or is it really the outer lay of the plywood and not "veneer" in the classic sense of the word? I believe this is veneer laid over plywood.
