I can only tell you from MY first hand experience.

I have one of these "Blue Stripers".

It sure ISN'T corroded.  It is pretty darn clean.

The Restoration, as it is, is pretty painless!  I'm going through and 
recapping it, found only one bad tube, and have had to replace one 
"can" due to careless handling by someone over the years.  The 455Kc 
oscillator can had the slug broken, and the threaded portion was 
sheared off level on the top.

The PTO is great, all modules are clean.

If this is extra work, expense, and labor, I'd like to know WHAT kind 
of cake walk some folks are getting!
