You inspired me that I can really do something good with this old cabinet if I get it!! Thanks again!
It's not perfect by any means, the top is still wavy, but at least the veneer is all glued down now! Just took some patience and basic tools. I found lots of info out there about refinishing/repairing wood furniture.

Hope the cabinet is in good shape and you get it!
Check out "The Furniture Doctor" by George Grotz It's kind of dated any more but good info anyway and it is a fantastic read.
