I have this, restored a year ago, plus sent one to a friend in Ukraine (he got it a week ago, came intact which in itself is a miracle).
1. Full recap.
2. unless you want a bit easier access to caps in RF chassis, no need to lift it, partly or in full. I only had a problem with one cap, but was able to deal with it.
3. Resistors. Change on the basis of check results, in my case most did not need to be replaced.
4. When taking apart dial assembly, photograph or sketch in detail every small step.
5. The dial hub might separate you could glue it back if the separation is not damaged apund. Otherwise repros are available. Mark Oppat is one.
6. Do not play it anymore before you replace electrolytics or make sure they have been replaced recently.
7. Check all tubes. Even if it plays.
