I agree with Dave here. In the end we all end up drawing the line in a different place that makes sense to us. Since we mostly do this for fun, when we are personally satisfied, our restoration is finished.
I work on the principle of 'doing no harm' and would rather have an imperfect radio than do something that someone else couldn't undo later on. Even if I had the skills to 'over-restore' something, I would not feel the temptation to do that. But I do try to keep raising the standard of what I do, which means I become disssatisfied with earlier efforts that I then feel the need to revisit.
Not logical in any way but it keeps me happy !
