I did manage to get the glass for the tuner plate off of the chassis. I put the blade of a flat screwdriver against the metal flange and gently taped it with with the handle of another screwdriver and it quite literally popped right off. It was quite clean and shiny under the flange! I was able to clean the glass and the white plastic sheet that goes behind the glass.
I'm still not really excited about the idea of re-covering all of the wires with heatshrink tube and replacing all of the resistors, so much of my time doing this was to help me get more familiar with the chassis and get used to the idea of a near total gutting of the chassis... I'll have to stare at it some more to work up the nerve to do any more
