Aesthetics Question - 38-7 - Should I "fix" it?

If it were mine, I'd have to get it working again.

Last Christmas, I picked up a Zenith 9-S-365 console in Alabama that had also been shortwave crippled. The push button assembly had been removed (?) as well as the shortwave oscillator coil. A phono input had been added perhaps as a consolation. The current owner said that the original owner was an immigrant (don't know which flavor) and that the local police actually picked up the console to ensure the work was done.

It was a devil of a time, but I eventually located a donor chassis to bring back all the functionality.
