<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9542176, member: 37"]Knobs look original to me. You might need to live with the splits in the top. Gluing won't do any good if you can't get some clamps on this somehow. Even then, I am not sure the gaps will close sufficiently to get a good bond. Cutting some very thin wood strips to push down into the splits with some glue might be another option. If you can't find some matching mahogany, they might stand out worse than the splits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
