If your up for the challenge, as indicated this is a great receiver. It will take a lot of time to replace caps and check resistors. The result will be spendid. Very nice cabinet. As your located in So. CA there are no doubt a lot of people close by that would love that set. Another option to sell it to someone who will restore it. I'm currently in Orange County but just don't have room for another radio. Assuming the "iron" is good (transformers) it should be less than $100 for parts and perhaps a tube or two.
Good luck on what you decide.
