Pithicus - Welcome.
You cannot upload videos directly here - you have to put them on a host such as YouTube, Dailymotion, MetaCafe, Myspace TV, Vimeo, or Yahoo Video.
Once you have done that, you can easily link to the video by clicking the down arrow next to the little TV icon you see when you are writing a new reply (or starting a new thread), clicking the host name, and then inserting the URL where the video is hosted. This will allow a small window within your post where folks can watch the video without going to the host to do so.
Sounds to me like you got a bit ahead of yourself. One should not ever work on electronics without taking the time to learn the basics, how to read a schematic, etc. I'm not being critical - just being honest.
Some great info for the beginner may be found here:

Your next step, once you have familiarized yourself with the basics and how to read schematic diagrams, is to find out just what went wrong, or if there is another issue keeping your radio from working. A signal tracer, signal generator, and multimeter are essentials tools to assist you in this endeavor.
Another thought: You live in a state which has a very active antique radio club. I suggest you join the Michigan Antique Radio Club.

They may have one or more members living near you who may be willing to be a mentor to you as you get started in this fun and exciting hobby. Plus, we're here to help also, and glad to do what we can.
