Greetings I picked up a Flight 2000 with a few minor blemishes. I.ve never dealt with this type of wood? its not OSB or ply or even Particle board, not that I've worked on. It had layers that have separated, the frayed corners look like cardboard. I was planning on trusty old wood glue clamps and Bondo. Any thoughts pinheads oh and I need a decent play field scan pleassseeee It's pretty messed up around bottom of planet and bonus multiplier inserts thanks fer looken

It looks like MDF

Looks like it's holding together better than some of the new cabinets.

I'd have to see the whole thing, but I would probably not put too much effort into repairing that cab, if the whole thing looks like that.

Even if you rebuild the corners with fiberglass, MDF is super heavy and flaky.

You could knock the head apart and make a template, then just make a new one from real plywood.

If you want to take a stab at repairing the corners:
