the right side.... what is that thing all the way to the right? is that part of this?

I also notice someone at one point wanted the crd longer and cut it and added more wire, the "new" wire is thinner then the origanal part though.

does this look like it's worth anything? I am not doing anything to it tonight, maybe tomorrow I'll get a damp rag, wipe it down (some mildew on the side) and then get polish and see it it'll shine again.

I am sure if I was to sell it, someone would love to resotre this, as cosmetically it is in pretty good shape (missing that one knob though) but the shipping thing would become a problem.

Anybody have any ideas or anything to say?
