the rubber mounts were suppose to be the same size on both ends but one cap end was a good bit smaller ..an old leather belt solved the problem .

It's up to you of course but I think that some medium walnut, dye based, toner would even out the lighter walnut veneered portions of the cabinet. Nice work on the motor repairs by the way, and fixing the broken grill bars in the front.
