It came with the broken pieces for the legs.. I just have to glue them on and touch them up.
I am not looking forward to the wiring if it is all crumbling.
So far I have not had a lot of problems with real bad wiring
Sometimes I need the parts list for the value of the caps if it is not stated on them. Nostalgia air did not have a parts list
I looked at the grill cloth and it looks like it needs to be replaced. I have not gone over the radio in detail but part of the marquetry on the top left side [facing radio] is missing a small amount.. I don't know if I can get anything that will match although there is an exotic wood supplier in the area.
I will keep you informed and if I need help i will ask for it ..Dan in Calgary

Philco John mentioned restore a finish. but I have never used it but maybe I will give it a try on a scrap cabinet.
