Doing a resto on a "basket case" can actually be more fun than trying to restore somthing in better shape. Especially if it is a relatively hard to find set like your model 21. There is less pressure to make it "perfect," and more pleasure in making it much better than it was when you aquired it.

Additionally on the "basket cases" that I have brought back to life, I have learned somthing about circuitry and replacement, and even cabinet work, that I haver put to good use with subsequent restoration projects.

It would be interesting to follow your progress on this neat set, maybe some updates and photos??
