There are plenty of radio amateurs skilled in Morse code who enjoy using such sets and indeed restoring them. You will be aware that it is CW (morse) only and no speaker so of no real use to a casual listener. If the condition internally is anything like the outside appears to be, it might not take much to get it back on the air. It needs inspecting by a knowledgeable person and I would go along with the suggestion to take it to the VMARS stand at the hamfest at Newark this friday and saturday.

In my opinion this should be put back on the air because of it's historical interest and rarity.
