It may be playing right now but if it were my set I would go through it and clean up some of the work the last guy did, it looks pretty sloppy, even on the terminal board. One thing I would straighten out, or replace is that plastic fuse holder, those are for automotive use not mains use, and the installation looks terrible. A lot of people seem to add fuse holders but I don't think they are really necessary, they usually put them in series with the power transformer primary, and unless they are of a really low amperage they won't save the power transformer should a filter cap short out. It could be a reproduction dial for a model 60, those have been around for quite a while, 20 years or more at least, the hollow rivets holding it on look like they might be aluminum, the originals were brass I think.
Regards
Arran
