The only problem I ever have is when I break something and have to fix or replace it. I can "feel" that this one is alive, just in a long slumber, waiting to be awoken... Oh, yes. She weighs in only at about 48 pounds I believe, so shipping would be astronomical I would predict, were I to send it off. And I feel this one would be in my "wheelhouse", but don't worry. I won't do anything to the cabinet but clean it up, and the chassis will be faithfully restored to a far greater degree than what the 38-1 received.
P.S. Medford is only a 15 hour and 58 minute drive from Mesa, Russ...
I've made that drive a few times. Several times on around-the -west radio collecting trips. I also lived in both Phoenix and Tucson but it was back in the 1960s.
