As a "collector" (curator of the electronic music instruments department
of the music department of the Haags Gemeentemuseum in The Hague, The Netherlands)
*mint* condition has no value at all, 'cause it could be a fake...
To a museum (historical collection) documentation about alterations is 
most important. Not only 'what' is done, but also 'why' it's done.
So please, keep track of everything.
