Default What should i offer for this

A Rockola 1422 . Condition cosmetic . The wood needs a full refinish .
On the top near the back 2 layers of the wood are all ripped off about
the size of a tennis ball There are other simple veneer chips around the
back edge . The back door is beat up and splitting where it was broken
into . There are 2 small holes drilled into the heft side of the cabinet
that look home made .
The front toe that sticks out is falling apart and pieces are falling
off making the whole thing lean forward .
The wood on the door looks ok with a bad finish .
Door plastics are all ok , no broken stuff but dull and dark looking .
The chrome is real good . Front colored sheet in the grille has 2 big
breaks looking like spiderwebs . 3 color tubes are missing , motor parts
for them are in a bag all dirty .

Its missing all the coin gear and the entire speaker and its front wood
board .The amp has never been serviced . Someone had twisted the speaker
wires coming out of the amp together causing a big resistor in the amp
to smoke .
The tone arm cartridge is bad . Some belt is missing under the mech so
i put on a big O-ring to test . It does try to select a record if i push
around on stuff .
After going through aprox 7 selections cycles the big mech motor gets
real hot & shuts off .
If i leave the turntable running for about a half hour its motor gets
real hot .
The whole area inside the record changer looks real good other than
dirty .

Its owner does not want to spend the $ it takes to get it working right
again let aloan the bad cabinet repairs .
I have been trying to find parts for quite a while & other than the
colored plastic stuff inside from V.C. i cant find the other parts .
One speaker i found was 300$ and coin gear was 275$ with a `make offer`
other than that no parts .

If that description is good enough ... what would a fair offer be for
this thing ?
