She finally brought it over today. Her repair budget is limited, but I feel I need to do the following as an absolute minimum before I let her take it home:

1.Make it safe to use. The power cord is completely shot so I'm not even plugging it in before that is replaced.
2. Recap and rewire as needed.
3. Replace that awful grille cloth with something that looks as close as possible to original.
4. Deoxit all contacts and switches.

She has no 78s, and isn't worried about the changer, so that is low priority.
