Next time you see one like that, just grab it. Even if for parts. They are not as hard as thought to restore. You just have to take your time.

I always take those and if the cabinet is really bad I still take it. I took one where the cabinet that was in several pieces. They come up often enough that you end up making one good one from parts pretty easy.
