Hi Coshi, welcome back!

All the basics on this set. At very least, replace all of the electrolytic capacitors. Replace all of the bypass capacitors second. I recommend replacing all capacitors if indeed you want to use this set as a 'daily driver!'

These RCAs will also need some peaking coils replaced. The two types they used in these prone to fail look like a blob of white wax with leads coming out either end, or a blob of reddish or brown ceramic, also with leads coming out either end. Some are just coils, and some are coils wrapped around resistors. Easy to replicate with the help of a schematic. There are about 5 or 6. Mica caps coupling the IF stages together should also be replaced, but not absolutely necessary unless they prove to have problems... so check those last.

Raster on the screen is a great start!
