Gary,
 
Nice story....... paints a picture many of us have seen from time to  time.  
By all means, put that beast back to work.  I was talking with  a fellow ham 
friend and BA enthusiast the other day and we were wondering out  loud if ours 
is perhaps the last generation to recover and restore the  relics.  I hope 
not, but there are fewer and fewer who seem to possess  the knowledge or will 
take the time to learn.  At least every saved  and restored rig might have the 
chance to end up in a  museum or collection as opposed to the trash heap.  Those 
hidden away in  basements, barns and attics will likely never see light of 
day again.  What  a shame!
 
Keep us posted on your efforts.
