I have one just like it. The cabinet is known as the Chippendale Grande. A heavy beast, for sure.
When working on the amp and FM IF chassis, be aware of the 4 MFD @ 600 volt capacitor! It's a oil cap with PCB oil in it. I personally, wouldn't replace it.
Also, in the receiver chassis, there's a mess of, what we used to call "bath-tub" capacitors. Those are oil, as well. IIRC, the caps are war surplus.
