I pulled the chassis out this afternoon and noticed two recessed bolts on either side of the cabinet.
I wonder if I removed them, would the top section come off ? That would make it so much easier to work on.

Also, all the parts have arrived As soon as I clear off the workbench, work will begin! Thank Ron for prodding me on this one
I'll start a new thread for the electronic portion of the restoration.

It looks to me like they have a square nut at the top, if you can find the head of the bolts/machine screws it's certainly worth a try undoing them, but if it doesn't lift off don't force anything. A lot of people don't realize this but you can unscrew and remove the tops on many of the older Philco consoles, they are held on by wood screws from the underside. If you have to remove the side panels for repair or replacement, or repair the top, it's a useful feature, the front panels also can come out but the chassis shelf is sometimes in the way.
