Hello Howard Woodward, and welcome to the Phorum! Not to scare you, but you are opening a potential Pandora's Box. In looking at your photograph, the following jumped out at me...
1. This chassis must have been in a super popular smoking area! Lots of cleaning upcoming.
2. This appears to be a 37-11 chassis. The tube socket for the 6A8 tube was removed and capped with an electrical KO plug.
3. One of the gangs of the tuner has be disabled, and the trimmer removed.
4. Filter caps have been previously replaced. I would still replace them again.
5. Seriously frayed wiring (eg. 6N7 grid wire grounding to shield)
That's just an observation of the top of the chassis. Need to take some under-chassis photos to see what lurks within. Someone did a bunch of modifications previously. Enter at your own risk. Take care and BE HEALTHY! - Gary
