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!

This Audiogon seller seems to have extra IV-a cabinets available;

This is the first I have heard of problems with the veneer on Dunlavy's of any size.

I owned a pair of SC-IV's earlier and had no problem with the veneer, but this pair was made from cabinets by DAL's original outside cabinet supplier. I obtained my second pair of SC-IV's (the ones I now own, SC-IVa's) after DAL moved their cabinet manufacturing and finishing work in house. Apparently, my pair had their veneer attached with a bad glue batch.

A high end piano store in your area may have a piano/furniture repairman than can do this for you.
