Magnavox T979 chassis your thoughts?

Todays Craigslist find is what I believe to be a 1972? Magnavox Vertical combo. It has the Remote Control TV, AM-FM, Phono with 4-Channel Decoder, and 8-Track.
After having a lot of fun getting it into the house, I powered it up and it worked! This set has the original crt and it still shows a sharp, bright picture. No color, vertical, horizontal, or tuner issues either..
So, not being an much of an expert on the T979, does anyone know anything I should watch out for on this chassis? Any reliability issues? It looks pretty cram-packed! I can't remember working on any of these in the past, just the newer ones with the regulator module that would blow up.
I will have to get someone to help me later to lift it up onto the base so I can check the stereo.
