help me decide what to restore next.....

the 25gtl is slowly crossing the finish line. i'm thinkin it will be posted in the gallery and the thread locked. next one i might either post in gallery, or maybe i'll do another thread to allow you guys (the peanut gallery) to interact with me while it happens again, idk. so in the pile i got a few things to work on that would make a good juicy thread. While my bench is a dictatorship and I get the final say, i'm willing to thew ya guys a little scrap of democracy so lets see some voting on what i should jump into next for a slow-roll resto thread

29gtl
140gtl
Courier Spartan SSB 23ch
29XLR (japan)
philly 29ltd I have 2, one needs a spare faceplate and maybe bezel

cobra 89GTL
142 GTL (needs modj regulator)

I'll put my 2 cents in for the 29XLR, but then I'm always a sucker for the various mutations of the 858 chassis.

Philly 29 is my vote.

ADDED TO THE ROSTER: a 21xlr

Do the 21 XLR for conversation sake so you can tell people that you just stepped on their new NASA tuned Galaxy with a Dynascan Cobra 21 from 1977.

welp, the taiwan 25 has a home when it's done locally, and whatever I do will be up for sale. i only have 4 rigs i wont sell, and none of the ones on this list are it

I'm very old school, so the Courier Spartan would be my pick, but it will be the most challenging and expensive. IMO the restoration would include a recap job and the crystal to cover 36-40LSB.
