Just giving it a cleaning and a fresh coat of paint

Hopefully it will last a few more decades

if you have compressed air blow out the transformers w/about 50psi.
lube the cooling fan also.

Did both of those already but thanks! trying to figure out how old this model is though. I'm gonna get all new cables for it, longer too. It got taken apart and resprayed. In the pic it's all original. At least 30 years old since my father in laws dad bought it originally. looks like new now besides the faceplate, but we cleaned it up and we're gonna use a clear coat to prevent or from deteriorating that much faster.
