What matters is whether you want to dedicate the money and space.
Also, most radio-phonos this old the caps need changing, the phono carts are usually shot (and you often have to improvise a replacement because NOS is usually bad too, and or stupid expensive), idlers vary...Some idlers you can wipe them down with GoofOff then GC automotive belt conditioner, and they will be fine, others have deep diviots, are too hard or too melty to save...Once you've done enough vintage electronic resto work it all starts to become 'same shit different set'...

I was thinking of trading the guy a couple of working mid-grade stereo receivers, a Kenwood and a Technics for this unit. Like I said the main reason I would get this thing is because I would like to have a piece of local history (being that Capehart was made about an hour and twenty minutes SE of where I live.)
