That cabinet is in really great condition. It really needs little more than cleaning with the cream gojo stuff and then some work with something like Howards, the scratches will just go away. Very nice looking set.
Welcome to the Phorum a lot of help here and you may need that for the chassis restoration. That cabinet in a couple hours will look like new.
