I have a couple of Sovereign C60's S8R's. The cabinets need some real work. There are small chips in the tops that I'm concerned would show after refinishing.
When I examine the cabinets I think JBL used solid wood around the cabinet bases, the border of the tops and borders of the sides. That said, I'm sure the large flat panels surfaces that make the up the top and the two large square panels on either side appear to be wood veneer over what I will guess is particle like board.
I'm thinking I would replace the wood veneer on the flat tops and maybe even the flat sides as part of the overall cabinet refinish.
Now if the borders around the bases, sides, and top are also wood veneer I'm not sure I would even think of replacing veneer on these complex objects / shapes.
So my questions to all those that have blazed this trail before me, is my assessment correct.
1) Are the cabinet bases, the borders around the tops and borders around the sides solid wood? (Hopefully Oak)
2) Are the three larger flat surface panels that make up the top and two sides veneer?
Thanks
