Welcome to the forum. You'll find that most of the guys here can help you with any problems you have with the radio. I'm sort of new at radio restoration myself, so I've got some advice for you...
Watch this series of videos on You Tube..

It's long (35 parts I think), but this gentleman walks you through a total chassis restoration. Of course, you don't have to do everything he does, and polishing up the chassis is optional, but he explains everything from how to read a schematic, to how to solder in a new cap. Personally, I think this video series should be required viewing for everyone who is new to antique radios.... I think you will find it well worth the time spent watching. Your radio will appreciate it too.
