Over the last two days I used some GoJo waterless hand cleaner to clean the cabinet surfaces. I used cotton Q-tips in hard to reach spots. The top right area had veneer coming loose, so I may either take it off or thin some Elmer's white glue and work it up under the veneer, then apply clamps as it cures.

The right side of the cabinet has some missing pieces of veneer at the back edge. I managed to save a few pieces that came off and will put them back on and work some of the glue up under the mating edges where they are loose then apply clamps to finish the re-gluing. I have some red oak veneer that has similar wood grain that I can use to patch the areas that remain on the right side, then stain to match as closely as possible and add some clear lacquer to complete that side.

The front changer tilt-out had the top edge veneer so loose that a slight tug made the entire piece come off. I plan to use the red oak veneer package I bought to make two new pieces, in a mirrored effect if possible. Then I will apply some stain to match the vertical wooden ribs over the speaker area and apply some clear lacquer to the mirrored veneer pieces.

The vertical ribs had about 50% of their original lacquer finish flaked off. I removed the rest of the finish there and then applied some paint thinner to bring out the original stain. Then I took pictures to show what it looked like (minus the veneer on the top of the changer tilt-out).

Here are some pictures of how it looks after cleaning.
