Thanks for the replies. Glad to know we're not alone! Don't really want to refinish everything if we can help it, especially since our refinishing efforts made the finish darkest of all (see following photos). But then ours is an amateur effort. Never heard of blonding stain, so will try some of that as well.
Posting some pics of efforts so far.

Pic 1 of 3 is the back side of one cabinet door, untouched, not really blonde but also not too badly aged.

Pic 2 of 3 is one panel lightly sanded with a clear stain

***(How to get rid of those black marks in the grain, etc?)***

Pic 3 of 3 is a panel with finish removed and clear poly applied. Almost looks like 60's mahogany!
