Like others have said, don't give up on the Philco, particularly since, if I recall from your earlier thread, it has sentimental value.
It's not a complicated radio, but as previously mentioned, the tight chassis isn't terribly easy to work on. Set it aside, get more practice, experience and confidence and come back to it when you're ready. Since it's by no means a rare radio, even if you need something (eg: transformer) otherwise unobtainable, you can find a parts set to scavange. Many members of the radio club are going to have vast quantities of junkers... Chances are that, in time, you will, too, which is a blessing and a curse (cuz you gotta find room for the stuff.)
There's nothing like the feeling of getting a radio (or TV) going after it's kicked your butt for a while!
