Interesting that treating chassis rust should come up. I am faced with this on my next problem, the Western Air Patrol tabletop.
Step 1) assess the minimum (recap etc) needed to make it work and see how it sounds, what else is needed to bring it back, is it worth the effort etc.
Step 2) Cosmetic clean and touch up restoration of cabinet Possibly including treatment of chassis rust.
For those of you that refinish chassis or replate, what do you use? Part of the point of high quality work is preserving, and a rusty chassis will last longer if treated and protected. Paint is one approach (after rust treatment/removal), but not an original one

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
