Eric
let me give you a bit of pep talk.
We restore radios because it gives us pleasure to restore them. In fact personally I specifically do not buy radios that are in fully restored or even working condition, I want to bring it back to life myself, and troubleshooting is a thing I enjoy and I think you should too!
So if it does not work, it gives you an opportunity to exercise your noodles and feel satisfaction when you solve the problem at hand.
Especially that other things do not bother you anymore.
"Snowflakes don't bother me, snowflakes don't bother me!" (Daffy Duck).
Think of what Werner Von Braun would say if you gave up!
(BTW he is phonetically "Vehr:nehr Foh:n Brah
on", not "Werner Von Broh:n" as those who his V2 bombed pronounce it 
)
