Well, I have two restos under my belt, the 630TS and the DuMont RA-105B. I recapped them completely, but, I saved the old caps and took extensive digital pics of the Chassis, just in case someone (me?) in the future wants to restuff them all and put them back in.
I want them to work, now, and I want them to LOOK new, like just out of the box. My best talents are cosmetic restoration, and I have just enough knowledge of electronics to be slightly less than dangerous, but, I'm getting better.
Thank God for Guardian Angels, here and elsewhere.
I believe cosmetic condition is a bigger factor now, and in the future. But, if you can restore a Set cosmetically, perfectly, so it looks like a Time Machine, it's worth more. Far more. If you come up short in this department, and do a hack job, it's worth garbage...
