I would too, but my funds are severely lacking, and the existing paneling
is quite nice (it was custom made back in the '60s). The family would
somehow like to keep that radio too, but they honestly have no sense of
its value or know how to repair it anyway (it is currently nonfunctional,
but I know exactly whats wrong with it).

Yup, thats why they dumped most of the shop's contents into that dumpster.
They hadn't quite finished when I found out about it, so I did get to go
in and clear out the remaining 10-15% of the shop after I got through with
the dumpster.
