Default HMV Gramophone model 26t

This has been a long term project, it's now complete but there is something missing the little brass door latches if I remember correctly the had a ball bearing in ,they fit in the holes shown in the second picture , I will also ask in the wanted listing .
A short history of the Gramophone ,it was a wreck when I purchased it some thirty or more years ago, the doors were badly warped plus veneer missing also veneer missing from the top ,I made new doors and used thin veneered MDF for the top ,the finish was not done by me, I used a very good professional. Mick.

That looks very good - great colour matching.

I think you are looking for something along these lines but obviously you need the right diameter for the holes in your cabinet. They should come with a brass keeper to go on the door too.
