Did you try the set out? It looks like it's in rather decent shape.
I haven't tried my PC's in a few years. I just fired up one of my later models and it looks pretty good. AFAIC, it's still better than watching B/W. The sound is better than many of the small import solid state sets.

I had to wait a day to let it recover from a cold soak on the porch, it’s bitter cold here in NW Indiana this week. But yes, it works surprisingly well with no strange noises or smells and the pots are relatively clean. It was demo’d for me immediately before packing so I was really just worried about it surviving shipping. Before I peek inside, does anyone know the tube lineup for this model?

The weather hasn't been exactly a treat here! Below zero at night, single digits during the day, with a nasty wind.
Where in NW Indiana are you located?
The tube compliment is about the same as the older models with maybe a few changes, HV rectifier etc. CRT is designated under the newer standards, 10V. IIRC, 10VABP22A.

I’m in southern Lake county and it’s been block heater/antigel weather all week. The box was so cold it got condensation as soon as I brought it in, so I didn’t dare open it for obvious reasons. I’ll open the set itself on a day off and see if the manual is in it. I don’t know if I should bother with a recap yet?

That set doesn't have a manual in it. The mini-manual was only in the slightly newer models, usually solid state.
The only cap, I would worry about is the boost cap, .1mfd @ 1kv or 1.2kv.
