Well you have a family treasure, but you should have it checked out hopefully by a local hobbiest or radio club before firing it up again. From it's apparent age, there are quite a few components that should be replaced to insure long term reliability and safety if you plan to listen to the set. If you want to take on the restoration project yourself, it is very possible, not rocket science. And the forum members will help you.

Post model number/chassis number so we can know more.
