David,
I guess it depends on the situation.
1) Is it for your own collection2) Do you not have a better one already?
3) Are you doing this as a favor to someone or are they paying you for your time?4) Without knowing the specific circumstance that has you in a quandary , I would look for one in better shape and certainly with less or no holes drilled in it. The finished product would still show the "scars".If it is just to "get it on the air".  Leave the SO239 , etc as is, then it shouldn't be too hard to do if this is the best one you have.  Keep looking for a better one.

 A question- please take a moment to give a
thoughtful, considered answer:  You've received a
scarce A.R.C.-make model of SCR-274N BC-459
transmitter.  It's been modified, including two
quarter-inch holes drilled in the front panel on
the lower-left, blank part of the panel. It's
dusty and needs cleaning, but the paint,
nomenclature tag, yellow markings and inspection
stamps are in good shape.  Antenna connector has
been replaced with a coax connector.  Antenna
relay, roller coil and its mount missing.
Selector relay is present.  Filaments and some
other mods.  Rear connector is intact.

Now, assume you receive the transmitter with a bag
containing all the missing parts and a document
showing all the mods and resulting circuit
diagram.

1.  I would make this project a priority, giving
it the time and effort needed to return it to the
air.
2.  I would accept this project and add it to the
"get around to it" list.
3.  I would not accept a project needing this much
time and effort, for reasons I consider valid.
4.  Other- please define.

Please do your best to be frank with yourself- No
jumping on anyone for their choices- The only
person who needs to approve your decision is
*you.*  No squabbling allowed.
