How many sq' of flooring are you talking about , John? You are trying to salvage the entire house or just the kitchen? If only the kitchen, it is not worth the extra work having to deal with an old tired floor. Remove old cabinets, get a big old shovel and shovel out the old floor, get it down to the joist. Install plywood sub floor, glue and screw, and play with the height accordingly with the new finish flooring material. You will be much happier and the work is so much better then what you have there. I am not going to say to not install another layer of flooring on top because people do it all the time. I just dislike doing that stuff not even for any of my rentals. another floor on top isn't going to make much different in terms of weight. I also suggest blocking off the floor joist
Now it time to update the electrical in the kitchen.
