This is a very good "first TV" to restore. That chassis isn't much more complicated than some radios. It may bounce back with just new caps. I have a VT-71 I brought back to life and, as you have noticed, there were a lot of variations in those circuits. There are some folks on here who would be better than me to walk you through this-hopefully one of them will chime in real soon.

The worst thing that could be wrong with this would be the picture tube. It would be nice to test it before you got started-I would be happy just to know the filaments aren't burnt out on it, and that is very easy to check with a simple multimeter (or a lantern battery.)
