Thanks for the input guys! This weekend I took it apart to clean the chassis and look it over, and as I thought it has never had any work done to it! It did house a little critter at some point long ,long ago judging by the ancient shreds of newspaper I found. Fortunately there was no other damage. I have to say that I am floored by the quality of this radio. THIS THING IS BUILT LIKE A TANK!!!!!!!! It took me 45 minutes just to figure out how to get the chassis out of the cabinetIcon_lol
My plans right now are to just clean it up and go from there. Just to be clear, I am talking about an electronic restoration only! There is no way I am touching the cabinet. As for the speaker, I am leaving it alone. I remembered that I have an empty 211 speaker shell that I can modify and use if I decide to restore my 513.
