Philco 41-280? Is it worth it?

The female speaker jack is crumbling. I guess Gary at Playthings might have one.

The output transformer measures good at all windings, so there's that, and the pushbuttons all work except the second from the left as you look at the front of the chassis.

I'm excited. For once, I seem to have just about ALL of the required capacitors on hand, so after I clean it up, I can get started right away. This will be the biggest veneer job I've ever taken on, so I'll be reading up on the cabinet technique. Is it American walnut with a light walnut toner?

No;
  It is plain cut French walnut, you can find it from some veneer and hardwood outlets or off of fleabay sometimes.
