Terry,
If you are going to refurbish it, yank out that old taycol motor and bin it.
It will cause hours of heartache trying to get it to run in fwd and reverse (has to have a mechanical switching mechanism), and even then you will find your radio will have a permanent case of the twitches.
They have very little intrinsic value, except for maybe curiosity.
I used mine to power my Martek drill sharpener rather than an electric drill. Powered it with my car battery charger.
