That cabinet might not be in as bad as shape as you think. You won't know for sure until you get it stripped. Mine looked a lot worse than it turned out to be and now I am proud to display it. One thing for sure, when you get it up and running, they are good sounding and playing radios. It will be well worth the effort.

Here are some photos of mine..

After.. It will be a big job, but you will end up with a beautiful radio.
