Philco mentor needed
#1

Hi, I recently purchased a neat looking old radio at a garage sale for more of a decorative purpose, turns out that it is a Philco model 38-2xx. The cabinet is absolutely beautiful and in great shape, but the electronics for the most part are all missing other than a metal box with some broken tubes. I would really enjoy restoring it to its original glory, however I don't know much about electronics(i'm a plumber), and I don't want to sink a ton of money into a possibly unsuccessful project. I need a mentor of sorts to guide me in the right direction or tell me that its way too expensive or parts are too hard to find. Thank you in advance.
