Oh, man... I wonder how much of the whatnot they'd be willing to sell? I'm half-tempted to by the chassis on the basis a full suite of tubes, transformers and other bits might well be worth having on hand for this restoration project. (I mean, I'd hate to see someone gut a radio that is restorable, but... some people just don't have an appreciation for the finer things, n'est pas?)
