Thanks, I enjoy the restoration process, both cabinet and electrical, learning new skills and also the “bring ‘em back from the dead” thrill that Paul mentioned. Many of my restorations have gone to friends, family, swap meets or Goodwill or other charity. I’ve also restored a few for people I’ve bumped into and want one fixed for sentimental reasons and those I do for the cost of the parts. I usually put more into it than you can get on the resell, at least when I’ve done it. Probably if you market it right to the right audience you can get more. The one’s my wife likes stay in the house. I like looking for a new project or working on a project.
