Worse than that. The poor thing should be tied to the end of a chain and
generously put out of its embarassingly miserable existance. Boatanchors
deserve to be left as found if they can't be properly retored.

Leaving aside the question of radios feeling either embarassment or misery,
whoever owns the thing is free to do pretty much what he wants to do with
it. Considering the number of nice original S-38s out there, it doesn't
seem worthwhile to bring that one back to something like it's original
appearance. I have an original S-38 with the BFO and steel bottom. The
paint's all scratched up bad, much of the scratches across the lettering. I
think it would look much nicer chrome plated.
