Don't worry Morzh, nothing missed my kids mouths by my buying this radio. If anything, it's the opposite. They are both living at home while attending college...one working on a degree in accounting, and the other in nursing. So like the bumper sticker says ... "college parents...please throw money!!!" I don't know if I'll restore this set or not. The dial bezel is yellowed and cracked, and some pieces of veneer are missing. I picked it up sorta as a practice cabinet to hone my woodworking before attacking some of my better sets. It's also missing all the knobs, and quite honestly doesn't have a lot of wow factor looking at it. Thanks for the input, gentlemen. I appreciate the guidance from established hobbyists since I'm mostly a newbie and frequently jump in without closer consideration. Arran, I totally agree. The least expensive part of this hobby in the acquisition of the radios. Take care everyone, Gary.
