Thanks for all the replies; they are interesting.
I don't know about the 707
5/7081 cable correspondance. The connector's pins are a completely symmetrical pentagon plus a centre pin. The orientation is determined solely by the connector body, which makes visually determining the orientation error prone. The surest way to proceed would be to compare the schematics and parts lists. Alternatively, if that becomes a serious consideration, I might be able to see something more unambiguous after disassembly.
I too share a dislike of breaking up an old instrument, but I'm sceptical the analogue section can be revitalised without significant repair and corresponding complete recalibration.
I think I'm going to keep an eye on fleabay until the new year, and then decide. My mind might be changed if someone throws obscene amounts of money at me
