But what is the condition of the radio now? Perhaps in its "original"
condition, it is worthless, too. And perhaps worthless to you, but to
the restorer, maybe it becomes a thing of beauty and joy. Not
everything is tied to money. Remember that and you may get more
enjoyment out of the hobby!!!. That's my 2 cents worth.


That's right. And nobody is repainting pristine radios, anyway.
