It does not need restoring..
That radio will never need restoring unless you put it underwater..I think David was thinking of the R7 and even tho they are SS,they are pushing 35 yo and will need some attention but.Yours R8 is very solid.
If the power supply waveform isn't pretty,neither is the sound in most cases.
I wouldn't spend too much time & energy on hooking up to the hifi..Shortwave & ham stuff is not very audiophile sounding.
Look around for a matching Drake speaker..
If you are in Connecticut, I'd be happy to take a look at it for you...

The trouble with doing nothing, is that you can't tell when you are finished.
It is under 10 years old and worked just fine in a smoke free home before it was put away a year ago in the bedroom closet!At some point I would think of sending it back to Drake for a tune up or at least some other place that was in my home state of Wis.
