I have decided to tackle my RTA15tl's, I am having the crossovers reworked and thought while they are away I would pay attention tot he cabinets, they are a little worse for wear on the corners. I have seen a couple of pairs on the forums (F1nut refurbed a really nice pair i think) any thoughts on either repairing the corners and reveneering or just patching it up and make look its best? I am guessing replacing the side panels is next to impossble since the sides were probably attached with some sort of adhesive at the time of assembly. I have attached pics of the corners to give some idea of what I am dealing with. Any suggestions are welcome.

    BTW, this is not the same pair of RTA15tl's I redid earlier this year, I had a local cabinet refinisher do that. They turned out great, but was just curious if it is something I could attempt myself.
