Welcome to the Phorum!! Icon_wave

Good advice above. It would not be the easiest electronic restoration to tackle as your first restoration. 40's sets often need much of the rubber insulated wires replaced along with the usual recap and recarb. If you decide to sell it, sell it as-is, otherwise it will probably cost you more in materials than you'll get for it.

Cheers,
Bob
