How to repair large gouge on the side of a Victrola "Colony"
Attached is a photo of a large gouge on the lid of my VV 4-5 "Colony". What product(s) and what technique can I use to fill in and smooth out the fill so the patch will disappear? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Repairing such a large area is difficult. I suggest you watch the best expert I know. He has a lot of videos so if you really want to learn, best get started. https://www.youtube.com/c/ThomasJohnson ... estoration
