Post Future project?? Dumont RA-103D

This set has been kicking around my house for 20 years. It's ratty.
No pix tube, no hv cage door, a resistor had exploded for someone, I stole parts off it, no knobs, no back, wrecked speaker, no back,finnish on cabinet shot, though wood is still sound....

Some years ago, a fellow afer traded me a junk RA-103C chassis. Had tubes, most parts, no pix tube, no knobs, no spkr., no cabinet, no dial mechanism.
Tonight I finally pulled it out. Put some correct tubes back in my 103D.
That chassis has enough good parts left in it to make mine repairable.
I have an extra usable 12JP4 for it, and, enough parts to turn it back into a rebuildable set.
I have knobs, band lever, hv cage, screws, horiz. osc. coil, etc., for my set...

I think my set will be a good candidate to restore.
