39-80B Philco
#6

ST, you will be able to get lots of help and advice as you restore the chassis and battery.  Radioroslyn (Terry) is very skilled as are many others and can talk you through it.  Since you are going to give this a go yourself, I'll move the thread to the Electronic Restoration section.  Do some reading before you begin.  You will need to replace the paper and electrolytic capacitors in the set in addition to that bad wiring.  Its not that difficult.  Go slow, take pictures as you go along so you can put things back together again.  Here's a good read for beginners: https://www.antiqueradio.org/begin.htm

Here's the schematic on Nostalgiaair.
