Easiest method to clean that set up is just to use a pressure water hose on it to clear out all the unpleasant things that might lurk inside the cabinet.
The tuner looks like a Brayhead unit similar to the type of tuner used for ITV conversions. Seems that Ultra Electric had no loyalty any one tuner manufacturer. The most recent Ultra TV I've serviced was a very slim and compact 1960 Bemuda model which employed a huge Cyldon type C tuner.
I love these basket case restorations, in fact many of the recent sets seen on this forum would have even scared me off doing such tasks.
