I need a step by step 'tute on this. I don't know a thing about what goes into cleaning it all up. Is it expensive? Can you still get parts if it's in rough shape? How do you refinish the cabinet? How "new" will it look in the end? Tell me as much as you can, if you don't mind all my curiosity.
I think it's cool to restore things. I have a hard time visualizing from the "before" to the "after" largely because I don't know the process and what all goes into it.
