With my  equipment, I have always attempted to repair using as close to 
original  technology parts as I can get.  When they are no longer available (as 
in  a 1940 RCA ac/dc HF receiver, I try to at least maintain original 
appearance  (bad multi section filter electrolytic, I opened, removed old guts, 
replaced  with modern caps inside the can, and sealed it).

What are the thoughts  in this group???

Hi Larry
 
I think there is room for all sorts of approaches to collecting and these  
are determined by each individual's preferences / requirements so there is 
no  right and wrong. If someone wants to keep units in their original  state 
then leave them alone other than cleaning and replacing faulty  parts.
 
I am a retired RF designer and happen to like the external appearance of  
the Heathkit SB-Line units so I try to maintain that look but where the unit 
has  a techincal problem or does not perform particularly well in today's 
band  conditions I will make some changes if they are possible. I also build 
brand new  units in that style to match what I already have - you can see 
some examples in  my shack in the Personal Interests section of my joint 
website and individually  in the technical web site.
