Nice - I'd reflow/reheat all of the solder joints on both boards. The 
chassis is flimsy and causes the large pcb boards to flex if the unit is 
moved around. 40+ years of being bumped around is bound to loosen some 
stuff.
I have an FR-1 - A reflow, and a few replaced electrolytic caps worked 
wonders.

Enjoy!
