Thanks Ron. I dabble in a bunch of different hobbies, and I know how purists are. I just don't want to ruffle any feathers being the new guy.

To be quite honest, I would love to restore an old tombstone or console radio one day, but I am sorry to say my skills are pretty limited. I am a fast learn, but I wouldn't want to further damage something.

I would never have gutted a complete cabinet, I wouldn't be able to do that. Seeing as the guy was basically junking this, I figured I'd save it from the trash heap and at least put it to some use.

As far as selling the parts, I am all for that, whatever money I can get towards supplies for the project always help. However, I am not sure the speaker even works, and don't have a way to test it (that I know of) What would be the value on these parts?
