Welcome!

Treat it as any antique piece. Even if it is much younger piece than those from 1930-s, it still has to be recapped when it comes to electrolytics and paper caps. The resistors might fare better.

And then there are mechanicals.....for tape recorder you could possibly get some insights from Tapeheads.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
