if the old veneer is mostly solid and smooth, it would seem best to work on smoothing the corners and edges. then cover it.

If you are going to veneer over the old veneer make sure you sand it down to remove all the old finish and that the veneering glue has raw wood to adhere to. Also I would suggest you take the opportunity to add any extra bracing necessary by glueing on the inside and securing with screws from the outside. Add a little glue to the screw as you screw them in to assure they don't back out. Countersink the screws a bit and fill the countersink with bondo and smooth. I used this method on a set of 825's about 20 yrs ago and the veneer is still looks as good as it did the day they were finished.
I think the sides that are rough could be sanded smooth enough for the new veneer to stick. It looks like the cabs were stored with that side facing a window or something.
A while after I got these cabs I contacted the seller for more info on them. It turns out his family bought two pair of M17 new (he mentioned the approx date but I forgot). One pair went to his sister and he kept the other pair. Finally he decided he wanted to keep the 604G to put in smaller cabinets and he had the 620a cabinets in his warehouse.
I was in upstate NY for the summer and saw them come up on eBay for local pickup. He wanted a couple hundred dollars for them, but when I contacted him we settled on 25$ (maybe it was 20$?). My uncle went down to SYR to get a keg and picked them up for me
I’m hoping the guy will decide to sell me the 604s that came out of the cabs eventually. Until then I have the only M17 that I know of with Urei 604G. Lol

That’s good advice Endeeinn. I do need to cover some screw holes in the front where someone experimented with the port size. I’ll sand off he finish down to bare veneer before gluing on the new stuff.
The cabs are original Hill-craft, and have some internal bracing already. Being mdf, they seem pretty dead already. I did have success bracing my 828 cabs when I had them. That made a huge difference

Instead of restoring these cabinets, you need to buy Cognac cabinets. You can use these cabinets in your kitchen and they will look more attractive.
Somebody needs to put an end to these doosh bags and their spam.
