No, not bad at all. The knobs are fairly easy to get, both original and/or repop.

Additionally repop escutchions are available as well as push buttons, usually the originals are shot.

That is an attractive cabinet when restored properly.

Never turn on one of these old radios unless you use a variac or at least some kind of surge protection. Things can go south pretty quick with some of these old sets.

If you have not already done so, become familiar with the tech portions of this site. Mucho good info.
