Dunlavy SC-IVa speaker cabinet refinishing source?

Hi, I own a pair of SC-IVa speakers in desperate need of new wood veneer. The veneer began to bubble up off the cabinets and separated entirely in many areas. The veener cannot be reattached at this point.

Consequently, I am in need of a good cabinet veneer specialist who is able to strip off the old veneer and glue on new veneer. I would appreciate any leads, primarily in Illinois, or in the midwest region who can handle this job. However, I would appreciate hearing from anyone in the lower 48 states who are familiar with a good cabinetry person who has done this with their Dunlavy's or comparably-sized speakers. Thanks!

My personal opinion is that this problem is due to poor quality contact cement, which I believe has already been mentioned. And because only a small number of speakers suffer from this problem it was probably a specific glue used during a specific time period. This is the probable culprit since so many speakers remain in perfect condition after so many years.
BTW: My SC-IVAs suffer from this same veneer separation problem although around the edges rather than the centers of the panels.
If I ever hear a solution that makes sense I'll give it a shot.
