38-116 found (Beauiful)

I am considering both options presently.
The other one that I have has a very nice cabinet and finish as well.
I read on here before that this radio in average condition is worth in the $300-$400 range.
Not sure if that is re-capped or not re-capped.
Can you guy's enlighten me?
I know you can find them once in a while for $100 with an average condition cabinet and non working.
Re-capped has to add significant value to one of these due to the complexity of the chassis.
And then I have seen others that are re-capped and re-finished for ridiculous asking prices.
Opinions welcome.

 The $300-$400 would be for an electrically restored set I believe (verified restored of course) , they are not rare enough to be worth that for an unrestored example, even with a decent finish on the cabinet, since someone who wants one can always wait until another unrestored 37 or 38-116 shows up for a better price. When you mention one being listed for a ridiculous asking price I gather that was from Grand Canyon Tube Radio or some similar online boutique. He has had a 37-10 and a 38-116 on there for sale for at least 16 years, both with the wrong grille cloth, incorrectly refinished, no decals, and the dial escutcheon polished, for four figures each.
Regards
Arran
