Calling Zeke

I need some advice. My work in the VW is not going well since I'm kind of laid up, so I'm working on some of Vicki's sewing machines.
We have this 1928 Singer model 99 portable that needs to have its wooden case cleaned up. I don't want to "restore" it per se, just clean it up without damaging the finish further and I need guidance. HELP!



What can I do to improve the finish?



I'm concerned about what I can to that won't damage or remove the logo. I assume it is stenciled on.



This corner is holding together for now, but I need to do something to stabilize it.



I'm pretty sure the paint on the iron parts is lacquer. What is a good cleaner to use that won't dissolve the lacquer or remove the decoration?
