I had this 48-1274 once...AM, FM, SW bands, and a rp in a mahogany cabinet.  It had a gorgeous original finish on it but I could only get it to hum.  It had something like 115-120 capacitors in it and about 95 resistors.  I gave up on it. 

I suspect a 1276 would be similar.  How much do you want to invest?
