Thanks for all the input everyone!  I'll have to do some homework on the electronics side of things before trying to tackle that part of the restoration. 

For the exterior, is there a preferred type of Howard Restor-A-Finish?  I'm not sure what type of wood veneer this unit has.  Any ideas what works best?  Walnut?  Oak?

Also, anyone have any pointers for repairing/replacing the grill screen? That appears to be the most damaged part of the whole unit.
