There's something else to consider.  My experience with vintage musical 
equipment has shown that cleanup attempts, even successful ones, can 
destroy the collector's value of a classic or antique item.

In the 70s I acquired a 1953 Fender Telecaster guitar.  The previous owner 
had worn all the finish off the neck and several portions of the body. 
Being young and foolish, I had a local shop strip, bleach and refinish the 
instrument.  It did look good, but lost the cache' in the process.  When I 
sold it in 1990 it brought $1800.  The broker told me that if I'd left it 
alone, dirty or not, the going price would have been in the low five 
figures.  An expensive lesson!

This may be of less consequence for those who never plan to sell their 
collection, but something to keep in the back of your head.

Steve
