I'm going to start this thread and then I probably will not continue it until this fall or winter for reasons which you will soon see.

It had lots of dust covering the chassis, but no rust. Here's the chassis after blowing it off with compressed air (outside) and vacuuming it (inside).

The power transformer may have a problem.

Yup...more rubber-covered wiring. Some of the original paper capacitors were replaced over the years, but the originals look good enough to restuff - they aren't falling apart as were the capacitors in my RCA T7-5.
