That's a nice looking cabinet. With a little bit of rub on stain and paste wax that should even out the finish. When you replace the filter caps on this set it's important to use film cap rather than ecaps. They're low values like 1 or 2 mf @630v.  Primaries on the rf coils a lot of times are open, not a big deal to rewind. 

Have fun chasing electrons!

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
