Hey, congratulations on your find, you lucky dog! Icon_thumbup I just narrowly missed out on one of those at the Nashville swap meet last Saturday.

Jim are you sure that isn't a model 66? Usually the model 66 has grille cloth as shown on your set; the 60MB's cabinet is identical but the cloth is a strange mottled combination of black and gold, unique to the 60MB:

In any event, watch for the usual pitfalls: bad antenna and/or oscillator coils in addition to the usual necessity of replacing all paper and electrolytic capacitors, and replacing all resistors more than 20% off tolerance.
