   Singer sewing machine - refinish or not?

   From: noname@noname.somewhere   
      
   It's an old cast iron stand, foot peddle variety with the original wood top   
   with drawers on each side.   
      
   The original sewing machine has been replaced with an electric sewing   
   machine - "precision sewing" and "remington" markings.   
      
   The veneer on the top of the cabinet has some veneer missing and is in bad   
   shape. There is some veneer underneath that I can use to replace the veneer   
   on the top.   
   Refinished it would never look like new, but much cleaner than current.   
      
   Should I refinish the top or only use some wood cleaner and leave it as is?   
   Does this piece have any value either "as is" or refinished?
