Tain't the ugliest one I've done business with, and can be set right. Will be a good performer for sure.
You could find a simpler model and try your hand at replacing the capacitors and resistors. If you enjoy it, and have some success, then you would have the confidence to do the 41-280. It can wait. This isn't rocket science, but you have to be resourceful, patient, methodical,and of course respect electricity. As you see from reading some of these sets take months to get right what with finding parts, day job, family, etc... To most of us including me it is a hobby, maybe self liquidating from an occasional sale or fee from time to time, but there are also folks who do restorations in a for profit mode. And most of them will help you here for free.
