1. if your referring to the "old" style the one with the foot pedal i had to redo my grandmothers but heres was just the top section or table section you can either get a solid wood section from a hardware store probly have to order it like solid oak or cherry then measure the old piece and use a roughter to redo the edge work on it sand it smooth and restain and polly coat it OR you can get the very thin wood panel's from like home depot i mean thinner then 1/8 inch if you do that all you have to do is remove all the pealing area until your at a smooth surface sand it down and use a lamanite type glue and apply the wood panel and use like a rubble rollar to make shure it is apply furmly and get all access glue out etc allow up to 48 hrs to cure then start sanding the edges where the glue came out and then refinish the piece with fresh stain and pollyurothain
2. Advise? It's ADVICE. LAMINATE.
3. You may be able to use a large syringe and squeeze glue under the lose laminate and cover it with plastic wrap and put some heavy block on a wood board and let it set a day or so. Or just sand the high spots down and use the hot iron laminates from Lowes, you can stain the laminates any color and if you have a real paint store around you might get some dyes, but this is for the pros's.
4. You might try to put glue on the parts coming apart and then take a regular electric clothes iron (on high with a clean cotton cloth as a buffer) and press a bit at first to see if that helps. If it does..then you are on your way. Good luck.
