Zenith Chromacolor console worth saving???

I guess its all in what yer willing to do. I remember picking up an old Emerson record player that I had seen from the school bus on the way to school. Back in the mid 70's when people would stop and dump stuff out of their car behind the guard rails along side the road. This record player got dumped basically because it needed a tube. 35w4 as I remember. Well before they dumped it they knifed all the speakers, and it sat long enough for mold, and animals to have been crawling around it along with evidence of their nesting and all that goes with it. I fixed all of it, and uded elmers glue on little bits of paper towels like shaving boo boos to fix the speakers. It was one of those amps that had a loudness knob, trebble and bass. That was one nice sounding record player and quite fun to repair all that some unhappy person could do to kill off that nicely crafted machine. I would feel very bad not to have the room to save something like that if it was up to "me" to make the decision.
