To summarise, you have bought a rather complex valve hifi receiver from 1965. The best way forward if you actually want to use it is probably to hand it over to a professional for investigation and a service. Once restored it will make the centrepiece of a stylsh, interesting and high quality hifi system, but may be high maintenance.

You will probably want to source the appropriate stereo decoder for the radio, or at least have a third party decoder fitted. There was no stereo FM in Britain in 1965 so the decoder wouldn't have been needed.
