While the little pre-war transitones are relatively simple in design, for a first attempt at restoring a radio it may not be the best choice due to the extremely cramped chassis and crumbling wire wrapped around everything. Be aware that any wire that gets disturbed will more than likely have its coating crumbling off, leaving you with a bare wire. Not good. Totally rewiring the radio to replace ALL of the crumbling wire would be preferred (see Ron's thread for a somewhat similar set up: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=19779) but that would probably be above the skill level of someone just starting out. You may opt to just replace or sleeve the ones that are bare with shrink tubing, or at the very least use some liquid tape on a toothpick to coat the bare spots on the wire. Good luck!
