Hi Bob, if you don't want to invest in all the equipment and tools that it takes to do a proper and safe restore of your radio, you might want to try and find a radio club near you to see if there is anyone that could take this project on or at least help you along the way. Especially if you are not familiar with vacuum tube technology. On the other hand, you might find that this hobby is addictive like so many of us have and might be worth the initial investment! If you do decide on doing this, there are many on here that will help with any questions along the way. Have fun and good luck on your project!
