Yeah, the finish is toast, but the gojo was to see what else may be hiding, and holy goodness! Pulled the chassis, and I think that was what was holding the cabinet together!!

The body seems to have swelled up and then shrunk at some point, so all the joints are blown. The bottom panel that holds the chassis is delaminated into 3 separate pieces.

But the good news is the only real "Bad" crack is in the side panel where the wood split about 1.5" vertically.

So, the question is, since I will basically be taking the whole cabinet apart. Would it be best to strip it as separate pieces, glue, then lacquer?

As soon as my son, whom is 1 year and 9 months, lets me know where he hid the SD card for my camera, ill post pics!
