Goes to show what can happen to a nice old radio when someone decides to make
it 'their' project. He didn't even have his notes and schematics with it.
Reminds me of dissecting frogs in biology class. Cut 'em open, take out the
parts, toss 'em away. No wonder there are fewer frogs today!

I think the ad was pretty accurate where it said 'could be used for parts', to
restore it correctly would involve another complete unit. It looked like every
module had been drilled for the conversion - not to mention a lot of $$ in
tubes missing! Probably would be better off buying another rig for more since
shipping this one might cost more than the sum of the good parts.
