Not to discourage you, but I once sold at a hamfest a nice Westinghouse AM
bakelite table radio project (was missing knobs but did work) that featured
push-pull audio output (pair of 25L6GTs). Even though I could claim in good
faith I had put in two matching brand new ouput tubes, I only got 20 bucks
for it, hardly more than the value of the two tubes...

However, as you found out, doing the resto and getting the radio to work
is a great part of the reward. The skills you develop doing this are actually quite
useful. I suggest that you keep on reading about this topic, maybe acquire
some instrumentation such as a scope, frequency counter, signal generator, etc.,
and keep chatting with us about anything electronic. Good luck!
