Nice job Eric, it certainly made a big difference. Personally on the checkered areas I would just leave them, nothing wrong with the lady showing some of her age. What ever you do, don't try going over that area with any abrasive without building up some of the surface with either shellac or lacquer. You don't want to cut into the high areas and remove the toner. Problem is that if you do those areas you may have to do the whole cabinet in an overcoat to get the "gloss" to look the same.
It certainly looks nice to me and you have the original finish. You only get that once!
