I agree its actually in decent condition. The rust will clean up pretty easy, and little scraping, and soke in navel jelly then some paint it will shine like it just came off the assembly line.

All the caps will need to be replaced along with the rubber coated wiring (typical of the late 30's and 40's radios).

If you dont want to tackle the restore yourself, look up a local radio club in your area. I bet there are a few in the Ft. Worth area. If you decide to go for it yourself there are plenty of people on the forums that will help you out with your questions.

Here are a couple of links of some restorations that are a really good read. (Sorry there on the "other" site)
