The saying in Russian is, "the hide ain't worth the dressing", roughly the same as "the game is not worth the candles".
Unless this is a very, very valuable radio, or a family heirloom (guess not, judging by the condition of it), or any such special item, it is certainly worth of trying to do things by oneself, but paying about $400 for the transformer for this radio, that during a good market day would not sell for $50 even in better shape, to me is unreasonable.
Of course, it is not my money, so if you are willing to pay it, sure.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
