I finished restoing that exact model a few months ago. You need to replace a fairly good number of the capacitors before you do anything else. I imagine that you figured out that the bottom rotary control is your on/off/volume control... clockwise 1 click becomes the volume for the radio, one click counter-clockwise is volume for the phono. If it still has the orig cartrige in the phono arm then its a crystal cartridge. You can either rebuild the one you have (I wouldnt suggest this if you are inexperienced) or replace it with something more modern (heres a link to the one I used... http://cgi.ebay.com/290450901411) and of course use a 78 needle.
I would highly suggest you stop powering it up until youve changed out the caps!!!
