Welcome to the Phorum!
If the cabinet is in good shape, my vote is to restore the radio. In addition to what Morzh said, plan on replacing all the paper capacitors. The cost is less than a dollar a piece. Here is a link to a schematic. http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel...013395.pdf There are plenty of fellows here on the Phorum to help when questions come up. The first thing to do is take a drive over to Gateway Electronics. They are located near Page and 270. They have thousands of tubes and will have the ones you need for $3.00 each. It may take an hour the find them, as they are piled in plastic bins with no order. But it sure is fun to look! Good luck with your project.
