Took my grandpa's old transistor radio apart and now I have 17 extra pieces

I found this beat up GE transistor radio from like 1965 in a box my dad gave me. Thought it would be a fun afternoon project to clean it up and get it working again. Followed a YouTube video but the guy talked so fast and skipped steps. Now there's a pile of screws and little metal clips on my desk that I have zero clue where they go. The radio still doesn't make a sound and I'm pretty sure I bent the tuning capacitor out of shape. Learned that old electronics have way more fragile wires than I expected. Anyone got a guide that actually shows you where every single part goes?
