A restored radio looks and operates exactly as it would right out of the original factory box. This entails completely stripping all parts from the chassis, replating it, finding or reproducing exactly all internal parts that are aged or worn etc etc. Considering the age of that radio, I would guess it would take at least a year to do the job.
I was recently involved in the restoration of a 10 kilowatt HF transmitter and that took 8 people 5 years.
I wouldn't want to pay for that job...lol
