Welcome to the Phorum, Atlas! That is a very good looking console and should clean up nicely. Give it a good cleaning with GOJO or GOOP non-abrasive hand cleaner. You'll be amazed at the years of wear that will disappear. Please take pictures of the chassis. Hopefully it will be in as good shape as the console.
Totally agree with Terry and John. Do not plug the chassis in without a full inspection and servicing. Personally, I don't consider leaving old film capacitors in... they all get replaced. Additionally, all resistors get changed out whether they ohm out in spec or not. Caps and carbon are very inexpensive compared to some of the parts they can take out if they fail. Sal Brisindi at the site Terry gave you is a great source for these parts. Good guy and very helpful.
Keep posting your progress and don't hesitate to ask for help. The gents here are gurus with these radios and their quirks, and very happy to help you out.
Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
