No worries, it is a very strong cabinet that rests on a separate base. With the base and the internal CRT front support I did indeed apply woodworm killer first and then I injected self mixing epoxy resin into the flight holes to add strength. I've not rulled out having a new base made at some point, but it has held together ok so far.
