Greetings everyone, yesterday a friend of mine at one of the local antique malls who also happens to be the owner of said antique mall was at one of the local auctions and he picked up for me in the free pile a Philco Model 60 Beehive Radio that the cabinet is in rough shape (missing/peeling veneer, and bad finish) but the guts are all there and I was wondering if this thing is worth trying to restore and hold out for a decent cabinet on ebay, or if I should use it for parts to try and fix up my 116B?

Thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.
