I won it, Arran. 
Yes, it is rough...and the bottom panel appears to be photofinish. Should be an interesting restoration.
There is a photo of a 42-760 in the Gallery:

Actually, that photo is a Canadian model 55, the equivalent of a 42-760. I used to own that set. Should have kept it rather than letting it go and acquiring the 760, then I wouldn't have to deal with rubber-covered wiring in addition to the rough cabinet on this 760.
I'll be waiting...and hoping that irreplaceable dial scale survives shipment...until it arrives.
Another Phorum member recently won a 53-960, and knows how I feel right now:

The 42-760 is the predecessor of the 53-960. No built-in loop for AM, and no whip antenna for SW, though.
