Hi Fred.  It seems the old phrase "you get what you pay for" comes into play here.  In my opinion, radios end up being a labor of love.  A fair price for a proper restoration when broken down to hourly compensation would probably end up with a price higher than the radio is worth, with a few exceptions.  I've done a little custom woodwork for friends and family in the past.  I've never gotten rich from it.  We all know what your work is worth, but what it's worth and what it commands will unfortunately never meet.  I just do it because I like to.  Take care, Gary
