My train of thought on FrankenPhilcos is this:

Sometimes a full-on proper restoration just isn't possible.

If you have a chassis that is a basket case but a decent cabinet, or vice-versa, I say swap 'em as long as you your conscience doesn't bother you--easily solved by just not doing anything that isn't reversible.

I have a 40-180 chassis that is in much better shape than my 40-190's chassis; I'm going to do the restoration/re-capping on the '180 first because it will fit my 190's cabinet. Then I will attempt to redo my 40-190, which someone has worked on (I haven't traced anything out to see if it was done correctly or not). If I can't get the 40-190 restarted, I'll leave the 180 chassis in.

...but I'll look for another 40-190 chassis. Icon_wink
