Based on the condition of the yoke plastic part, My guess is the set was inside a air conditions enviroment its whole life (as opposed to humid u store it shed). this is good, I would suspect you have a better than 50/50 chance that it will work as is. It would be a good idea to so a soft start if it has not been turned on in a long while. I always use a metered variac and disconnect the HOT (may not be an option with a string series set) and do a very slow startup while monitoring the B+ so as not to exceed the recommended B+ total. Going very slow while looking for excessive current and or smoke.
If if has any wax caps, they have got to go, but that era tended to not have any wax papers. you just need to get the chassis and look.
