CTC-15 restoration

Starting a restore for a VK Member. This CTC-15 chassis is in rough shape. This is a high hours set and has signs of a lot of old and new work. It had a raster recently and CRT should be OK. I will be checking it.

There was no video however, then no nothin... there are some parts clipped, bad electrolytics and all but vaporized terminal strips under the square/ hots. some wires are not much better. A previous attempt by someone has a top-hat in place of a boost diode, glass diodes in place of the dual diode, resistors stacked to attain needed value, and a good number of those wooden looking resistors checking way high.
Are there any pitfalls I should know about the 15 chassis? The things we were used to seeing 35 years ago don't necessarily relate to the state of that equipment 45 years later.
This may well be a diamond in the rough and I'm excited for the owner. Its even a remote. I'll post some pictures next visit.
