I am new to a complete resto but I have worked a40-130 electronicly before. I have a chance to get a 38-10 for cheap. It is a father an son thing. I am great on the electrical end and my dad can work wonders with wood. Is the 38-10 a good canidate for a complete resto? All the parts are there, it needs to have the caps replaced and the dial replaced since it is weathered from the light from all the years of use. What does everyone think? I can get the radio from a friend for probably $45.00.

PS I am not new to restoring old things. I run Hydrodyners.com a site dedicated to old Hydrodyne boats and have a fully restored 1973 (In boat years that is pretty old).
