Andy,
You did really well for $10.
One thing I do see. It might not make much difference to you now, but I see drip marks on the back of the cabinet top. That would indicate someone stripped off the original finish, then applied some kind of clear on it. I see on the front by the feet, where someone may have sanded across the grain.
When the time comes, you may want to try your hand at refinishing the cabinet. Warmer weather is best to do all that.
But for now, the set looks fine and I'd spend time detailing the chassis, going over what the previous owner did. Lubing the controls, cleaning the pushbutton contacts, etc.
Take care, Gary.
