I've been working up an interest in finishing this project, or at least getting it all back together.
Getting it back to it's original factory state is out of the question, my goal is just to make it solid and presentable, to that end I've been working on fixing up the cabinet so I can get the chassis off my bench where it's been sitting the last couple years.
I sprayed the interior with some "Camoflauge" paint, this is to hide the water and Mouse stains and make it look a little nicer, yeah I could ahve used black or something darker but i wanted it to look less dingy.
I gave the outside a rubdown with some cherry stain to make it look better, I'll probably use toner on the hardwood trim to cover up it's many defects, the rest will get stained and lacquered eventually.
It's missing about a three inch wide strip of veneer from the left side, I'll patch it up and not worry too much about a perfect blend.
I've got it basically put back together, most of the hinges and screws and such, I had to use longer screws in most places to get a good bite in the dry wood.
Maybe soon I'll reinstall the guts and see what it'll do.
