It looks like a clone of the famous RCA 630TS. I just finished restoring one.

A wonderful score. Ya done good. If you have never worked on a tube radio or TV before, you might want to find someone in the area who could act as a mentor. Here is a list of collector clubs.

Even if the club is not next door, they might know someone who knows someone in your area.

Yes, I was able to receive FM radio on channel 6 when mine was unrestored. Your audio section is basically functional, but still needs restoration along with other stuff.

Plan to replace the old electrolytic and paper capacitors. Do the electrolytics first.

Have fun.
