That is quite the large tuning capacitor! What are the dimensions of the chassis? I realize that it must be quite large, but in the photos it looks very shallow. Also, what is that large pot enclosure in front of the AC transformer? Is that a battery compartment?

I am excited to watch this restoration. I know that they take up a lot of space, but consoles are just so special to me. Sometimes they don't get enough love.
