Is there no one available to save this receiver?

I still have this and will be hauling it to the local
scrap metal dealer. I'll open it up first and salvage
the tubes. Anyone interested?

As someone pointed out earlier, it turns out the date
of manufacture indicated on the receiver is 1934,
a bit earlier than I had originally guessed.

I visited with Glenn and looked it over. It is BIG and it is bulky and it
looked heavy. It also appeared like the rear of the cabinet might have been
part of the ship's hull (almost kidding). It would be a good project for a
competent rebuilder, but not for a newby. It's unique and it would be
unfortunate to have it go somewhere as junk metal, but I have too many other
projects to even think of one of this size.
