Thank you for the welcome! I'm definitely considering a restore. It looks a little daunting right now. I'm used to nice neat circuit boards and what is under that chassis looks like a mess!! lol. I have no idea the condition of any of the components or how to go about testing the tubes. Definitely not going to plug this thing in without a little more confidence on the state of things.
My first thought would be to pull everything off clean and test. That could be quite a puzzle to put back together!
The grill cloth is actually in very good condition and surprisingly not very fragile. The paper on the speaker LOOKS good, but it IS very fragile and has come unglued on the edges. It definitely needs a new power cord. Would love to have something like the original braided cable. The other braided wires are probably ok.. just dusty, dirty and old.
I'll have to read around on here to see what the best approach to start working on this would be.
