Truly a work of art!! I hope your more cynical colleagues are truly humbled to see the quality of the workwomanship from the past.

It deserves a custom made transparent acrylic case and a prominent place in your museum. Maybe you need a second one to show the appearance in its case as well.

If you want to get it operational, I would suggest you test all the aluminium cased tubular paper capacitors and carefully check that the mains lead is the correct one and its condition. I think there may be more than one way the instrument end of the plug could be wired for different pieces of equipment and the wrong lead could be hazardous.
