First Timer....Need Help

I bought a radio/phonograph at a flea market this weekend on a total whim. I would love to restore it myself, but I have no idea where to even get started. Any advice on books, references, tips, tools...anything at all would be a huge help.
After browsing the links, I believe what I have is a Philco
38-6-9 "Armchair." It seems to be in decent condition, especially if it's really from the 30's. The power cord has a few "chunks" missing, so I haven't pluged it in, but as far as I can tell, all of the parts are there.

I have attached a few pics for anyone that's interested. (also new to forums, so sorry if I did that wrong)

But again, any help or advice would be awesome!!
