It's the Zenith style cataract which is my favorite type to fix....the 'cut the glue with a guitar string' method has never failed me.
Love that Danish modern cabinet.
It's a CTC17 chassis which is basically the much loved CTC16 roundy chassis with the sweep circuits modified to drive a rectangular CRT. So restoration should be fairly normal for a tube color TV.

What's your level of experience with electronics especially tube electronics? If it's all new to you I strongly recommend finding a late 40's 5 tube AM radio and a monochrome TV to work on as practice before you start on this. Color TVs are complex and there's a lot to learn repairing one... working your way up to it on simpler projects should serve to prevent it from overwhelming you.
Also worth reading some restoration articles on Phil's old radios website.
