Re: Veneering a £13,000 turntable.
I have one of those Murphys. The veneer is ok, but the wiring is the crumbly rubber type that Murphys of this period always seem to suffer from. It also seems to be based around whatever valves they could get at the time as IIRC the output valve is a big prewar style thing, whereas the rest are 8 pin miniatures.
Regarding veneering: Over Xmas I had my first ever go. After experiments I settled on the apply PVA to both surfaces, then iron after ~45 mins method. Came out pretty well for a first attempt. Used a flush router bit to trim the edges. Picture attached.
