The statement I made wasn't directed at the person who made it, it was directed at your comment.

Again, it may not be anything rare and great, but the truth of the matter is that the radio survived for 70 years in whatever state it was in, and that there's about a 70% likelihood that in its present state, it'll hit the garbage within 5-8 years after being sold to different owners for a progressively low amount until it ends up at someone's garage sale for $50 or less.

Now granted, we may not know what state it was in when he started. Might not have even been restorable with a reasonable amount of work. By the same token, having restored old cars, I also hate rat rods.
