Just bought this 42-380
#9

The chassis is covered in a ton of dust:

But underneath is in pretty good condition, with no obvious aftermarket amateur tinkering aside from the extra On-Off switch added to the back:

There is a bit of rubber insulated wires, especially in this knot on the switch deck. Surprisingly, even the rubber is in OK shape (I'm still going to replace that stuff):

And this pair of 41 output tubes isn't exactly a matched set:

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
