Right-o! Same thing with any other "affliction", like building plastic models. If you have fun and the result looks good to you, that's what matters. Have fun, it'll infect those around you.

Yes, but would you call it a restoration, if you sold it on Pay-Bay. Everyone should do as they like, but that was the question. And, probably best evaluated by someone other than the "restorer". Here there would be two answers as well, one from the general public, who seem to like - well you have seen "restored" radios sell for ridiculous prices. And two, an experienced radio collector.

Some of those Pay-Bay radios should be listed as Repaired, Custom and Modified, but not restored.
