I'm sort of jelous. That set has a nicely stiled cabinet, and a really good amp chassis. The only things that would make it nicer is if it was a model a remote control chassis, and or a color TV then it would be my definition of the best combo one could find.
If you want to go a step beyond repair on the audio portion and replace all out of tolerance parts in that section and adjust the tuner for best performance, then you will probably be surprised how great it sounds.
Once you get it running the way you want it I would reccomend a modification. If you use an RF source that has audio outputs (like a DVD, VCR or cable/satelite box, etc.) to feed the TV portion a signal then I reccomend modifying the sound input to the audio portion for the TV so that you can switch between the poorer fidelity monophonic sound from the TV's sound demodulator (preserving this keeps better originality of function and aids in troubleshooting any new or relapse problems in the TV) and the better quality sound output direct from the TV signal source to feed the audio amp.
If there is excessive hum in the audio or any of the electrolytic cans get hot after(or during) powering the set up on a variac then you should replace the electrolytics, and continue from there.
