Looks Great. I had the same front pull knob condition on my set. Each one was bent to the side. I took each one and heated it on an open flame, from a gas stove being careful not to overheat and then gently sterightened each one out. Patients is the key. It's hard to describe the right temperature, certainly not red hot. In fact I never let it get anything close to red hot. I heated each one and then tried to bend it a little. I reheated a couple of time bending just a little each time. Both of mine were bent as much as your is on the right hand side. The one on your left looks good, correct. I think they are made of a pot metal type material which is notorious for snapping but if it"s heated first it becomes moderately pliable.

My set has the same knob set inside the control door as yours.. five. nothing on the Horiz Freq.

If it were me I wouldn't strip the top and refinish it. I would stain the bare spots with red mahogany until it looked like the rest of the top and then shoot it with simi gloss poly from a spray can until it matches. I have tried using my own spray equipment but didn't get very good results. The spray can has just the right nozzle and preasure to get a perfect finish. I'm sure that didn't happen by accident, it probably took some experimentation to get it just right so why try to reinvent the wheel. The rest of the cabinet looks really good. I would just go over the bare spots with the RM and rub it out. The missing piece on the door looks almost impossible to replace or repair. I would just stain the bare spot and forget it, it's not that noticable.
