$50 is a bargain if complete and if the cabinet is as nice as you say. Why not grab it and flip it to someone who wants to go to the trouble of restoring it? It will be a nightmare, for certain. This one is worth the effort, but yes...another nightmare of rotten rubber-covered wiring.

What's with the 42-1015 sets suddenly starting to come out of the woodwork, anyway?
