I recently threw out a Zenith chassis similar to that one... I think it said 19K** on the back instead of 19R**. I think mine didn't use a power transformer. I pulled a few parts from it... seemed it was pretty easy to get to components underneath.

If if already gets a picture, then you've got most of the battle won already. Just start changing caps and the picture will likely get better. But, Sandy is right... unless you're used to dealing with stuff like this, it's best to have someone there with you that has worked on these old sets. Yes, they are far simpler than modern sets, but these old sets will knock you on your can.

If it's only needing new caps and a few toobs, those items are readily available from several sources on the internet. You might even have an industrial electronics parts house in town that stocks some of it.

Definately a nice looking set!
