IS this a worthwhile resto?

[Patrick Chadwick]

I can only judge it as I see it in the market here. As has been demonstrated on these forums, I am also a sucker for what jmoore terms "pound puppies". A very good term - they are also (too?) easy to acquire and cost a lot more in upkeep over the years than you anticipated!

But even my idealism fades at a price that is above the value of what the object would be in proper condition. Which, over here, would be more like 175 than 275. I may spend my time without regard for market value, but not my money. Knock the "2" off the price tag, and I might think about it.
