Cabinet repair is pretty much just a glue/clamp situation, I hope. Will need refinish work too, as the varnish is badly blistered. Machine will probably respond to a good cleaning and oiling. It's been sitting for years, it'll just have to sit a couple more months.
Looks to me like you've not only looked in that gift horse's mouth, but have seen the rotton teeth and decided it was worthwhile anyway! :)
You've got your work set for you, and I can't wait to see the "after" pictures! Sure you don't have time to work on it now???? ;)
