I agree with CobaltBlue, I'd first check if the coils, IF transformers, & output transformer are ok. Not that they can't be fixed, but life will be easier if they don't have to be. This is certainly a big job. This one is in worse condition than the one I restored. But I don't want to discourage you. Break it down into little jobs. Perhaps tackling the cosmetic jobs first - fixing the case and speaker grill cloth. I'm in favour of a full restore.
