I picked up another radio it’s a Philco 37-650. The cabinet is in pretty good condition, but the chassis is in very bad shape. Looks like the chassis sat in water for quite a while. No sign of water on the cabinet. So I’m guessing is it’s not the original chassis, speaker is trashed too. I took some pictures of the chassis.

Do you think it’s worth trying to repair, or should I try to find a replacement?
Philco 41-295X 4 band radio.
I'm 67 years old, in north Idaho.
