Welcome!
By "antique cabinet" do you mean a radio? Or just the cabinet?
I have recently restored 41-280.
So. It would be helpful if you provided photos of what you have. Cabinet and, if there is the chassis inside etc - all the electronics, meaning the chassis - top, bottom, speaker and such.
41-280 is a simple radio but might present a challenge due to the rubber-coated wiring that may or may not be disintegrating in which case aside from repairing electronics you will also have to fully re-wire the whole thing, which is what many if us have done, and it is not a complex task, but it requires patience.
This is my thread about it:

You will need:
A DMM (volt-ohm meter), a soldering iron, a Variac is desirable, a tube tester is very desirable and in the end you will need a signal generator.
Also - wires, wire-rosin-core solder and such.
Good luck.

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.
