$50 is exactly what I would have paid! You must consider the work needed to restore it and that is a very fine unit once you recap it.
Be wary of the 6CA4/EZ81 filament shorting to cathode or better, replace with rectifier diodes to reduce load by one full amp on the filament winding and transformer overall.
Your console shows as model 1ST624 for $279.50 in the 1962 catalog. The "translator" chassis for stereo was an option for all consoles.
Most of the tuners from 1960 onward had a selector position for stereo or multiplex FM, which allowed for an adapter sub-chassis to be added. I have never seen one that was added after the console was sold. Most folks just bought a new console rather than retrofit for stereo.
