Nice find and I'm glad you're willing to restore it. The first thing you'll want to do is NOT plug it in! Those capacitors that were mentioned above were not that great to begin with; and, they go bad from sitting unused for decades. If power is applied to this set and one of these capacitors is shorted or shorts after power-up, you could burn up an expensive or NLA part.
The next thing you'll want to do is check the CRT. To do this, you'll need a CRT tester or find someone who has one. It won't be the end of the world if the CRT is bad; but, these older CRT's are getting harder to find, and more expensive, by the day. When I begin work on a TV, the CRT is the first thing I check. Nothing is more frustrating than to overhaul a TV chassis, only to find out that the CRT is dead or too dim to give a decent picture.
