Drill Holes in Admiral

[Tony F]

Hi guys, I've been watching this Admiral set and have serious concerns over the holes someone has drilled in the face around the screen. I'm assuming this was done to keep the screen mask in place. The hole in the top right corner (that has no screw) isn't even in-line with the other holes. Considering this would seriously detract from the value. I am trying to imagine repairing this Kludge with JB weld and painting the surrounding area (kind of like a picture frame) with a brown paint that was close to the original bakelite. I know it would never look "correct". It is a real shame it was done originally, but "Back-in-the-day". I guess it didn't really matter too much. Thoughts ? The set also looks like it is missing the metal rear cover as well as the High voltage cage cover.
