As far as the cabinet condition, try cleaning it with Goop (non-pumice) hand cleaner and 0000 steel wool. GENTLY! You'll be amazed how much dirt will come off. Wipe it down with soft rags. It will still have some battle scars, but a lot of the smudges should come off. At this point what is there to lose? - Gary
