Why do you have extra pieces?
I bought it from a fellow who described it as "in like new" condition.
The top was only fair. I added the bottom with the metal bail because
it's SOOOO much better. The front was touched up with magic marker and
had some scratches. So I got the top and bottom from Drake. I got the
R8E front panel on Ebay. I wanted it to be as close to new as I could
get it. The old guy I got it from said he has eye problems : ) He did
reimburse me $50.
