Silvertone Score

An old gentleman from my wifes church gave me a Silvertone 4586 console radio today.Someone decided to paint it solid brown at one point,and it needs several cosmetic items,from the glass and frame on the dial,to the end of the dial pointer,to 2 of the original knobs,which have been replaced with non matching knobs.All the wood and the structure are in good condition,as is the grille cloth.The guy turned it on in front of me(YIKES!) and it is operational,but is in obvious need of restoration.I pulled out the speaker,and its in amazingly good shape,but looks like there was a small tear in it that was "repaired" with scotch tape .If I was to have it professionally restored,would I have to sell my house to do it?It looks like it has real potential,and I would hate to see a piece of radio history just destroyed or tossed out.It seems there is a lot of info,here and elsewhere on this model,so I think there might be hope...Just curious.
