Well, over half the old radios I have been (given, scrounged, picked up, and inherited) needed carpentry repair as well as refinishing to be fully "restored." That said, I think a reasonable retail price for, let's say a table radio that has all its parts and isn't too beat up to be refinished nicely would be $65. Amd we're not talking museum quality...

Of course shipping and insurance can easily double the cost to the customer, especially if the whole set comes to you and must be returned.
