This will be a very good project; it will take awhile but, man, what a feeling of accomplishment when you are done!
I would start with the radio; I doubt it is a real complicated chassis and should be easy to recap. From there move to the phono; you know, I've brought back to life dozens of radios and TV sets but I've done almost nothing with phonographs. A whole different segment; there are folks out there who are really good with these and know all the tricks. Cartridges and rubber parts can be replaced or repaired.
The TV is a good way to finish things off. Look at it as just a big tube radio. The HV demands respect, true, but so does the B+ in a radio, or the AC line for that matter. The good news is that most sets like this didn't get stored away due to a catastrophic failure; most just gradually died of bad caps and nobody wanted to bother with fixing them.
