[Drake] TR-4C basket case

I am looking for opinions. I picked up a TR-4C at a hamfest that 
looked to be basically
intact. I had hopes of restoring it. The plate current meter was 
missing along with
several of the knobs. Once I got it home and opened up, I find that 
both of the 9mHz
filters are also missing.

Should I just cut my losses and e-bay it, or does anyone think it may 
be worth restoring?
The front panel has been drilled for a non-standard toggle switch, so 
at some point if a
restoration is attempted, it will need to be replaced. I know 
reproductions are available.
Thanks for any and all thoughts and ideas. 73,

Kevin, K9HX
