Bill,
Welcome to the Phorum
Your radio needs some repairs that requires someone who is familiar with antique radios, unless you want to spend the time to learn about repairing and restoring antique radios. Here's a beginners page that Phil Nelson has put together just for some information: https://www.antiqueradio.org/begin.htm
There is a Michigan Antique Radio Club that is reasonably close to you where you may find someone to help you in person: http://www.thevee.org/
If you want to explore trying to fix it yourself you will need a good volt-ohm meter, a soldering gun or iron and lots of patience. Read through some of the restoration threads in this phorum to get a feel for what folks have done and then start a thread in the "electronic restoration" section with your questions and postings as you start the repair. Folks here will be happy to help you along the way. Be careful...once you start restoring radios it becomes a habit and radios seem to find their way to your door!
