Welcome to the Phorum! Your last comment was that you listen to the console a few times a month ... Has the chassis been rebuilt? If not I would not play it until you do so. All capacitors and any out of tolerance resistors should be replaced, and special attention given to the condition of the rubber wiring. All of these could ruin your day if they fail.
I have a 41-280x that I bought years ago at an estate sale. The trim on the sides of the speaker on mine had been stripped of its' photo finish. The previous owner did a very good job of matching the new finish to the existing cabinet finish, and I left it that way.
Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
