I was working on one of these a few days ago, unusual to get apart, when you remove the screws holding the back on the front panel comes out with everything mounted on it. Not as easy to work on as it looks though as you then have to remove 2 brackets that go over the chassis and then that is still fixed to the front by 3 nuts.
I have replaced a few of the hunts caps and a couple of electrolytic caps and it actually seems quite sensitive, picking up several of the weaker stations that some sets don't get very well here.
