Cabinet repairs
Has anyone had cabinet pieces reproduced, if so where?

What parts and for what cabinets?

I've had pieces made by Jerry Rutkowski at grampstreasures.com, and he does a wonderful job.

Re: Cabinet repairs
You might also want to consider checking with George Vollema to see if he has an original available.oltractor wrote:Curt A wrote:What parts and for what cabinets?

Re: Cabinet repairs
Sorry to hear that. George has worked parts miracles for me so often I get to thinking he always can. 107s were low production and survivors, I would think, must be fairly uncommon.

Re: Cabinet repairs
Finding an original lid to a 107 is going to be tough. Only about 1000 were produced. If you have one side, a good woodworker should be able to reproduce the profile for you. You might even check with places that make millwork and cabinets. I had some missing moldings in my house reproduced at a local millwork shop.
