Shame that got smashed.
I don't always change cords during restorations either. If the original is in fair to good shape and it is not a set I plan to have plugged in 24/7 or run fairly often I leave the original. Really good cloth cords I tend not to worry about (the bad ones I can replace with repro cloth cord from the semi-local ACE), and non-cracked/melted rubber or plastic cords in good shape I tend to leave be too.
I had a Moto a few years older than that where the dial scale changed with the band selection. The cabinet was rougher than my lousy wood skills could fix to my satisfaction so I sold it....With how cool the dial was I kind of regret that decision...
