Dan;
I've seen some Marconi sets like that before, one was a console though I'm not sure if it was a model 86. It's almost like they had the cabinets made up already, and at the last minute decided they wanted to use a slide rule dial on the chassis rather then an oval one. https://jproc.ca/marconi/home_ent/086_087.html Apparently the set has double conversion, and squelch, so you might want to go a little more in-depth then just recapping the set, also changing out any drifted resistors, and find someone who knows how to re-align a double conversion set.
Regards
Arran
