+1 what Bob said. Definitely do a recap if you want to use this for daily listening. If you've never done this type of work or don't feel comfortable with soldering in new components, you might want to get in touch with this Antique Radio Club in Georgia: https://sarsradio.com/ They may have members local to you who would be willing to restore your chassis to working order.
That said, even before you do anything, verify that you have the correct tubes and that they are in the correct sockets. There should be a tube layout diagram inside the cabinet next to the chassis. If you don't have access to a tube tester, you'll need to find someone who has one you can borrow so that you can at least know that the tubes in the set are functional.
Good luck!
