It's actually all not that uncommon with early AC sets from the late '20's into the early '30's. You either get lucky and it plays as-is or you have to excavate the tar filled cans which contain the caps. A tedious, messy job. Early AC Radiola's are the most likely to play as-is. They were so well built. The thing is that they're VERY common and have moderate value. An empty cabinet is not worth a whole lot, but definitely has value. A person who has the set with a bad cabinet will surely be happy to find it!
