You're kidding about the garbage can, right??? If not, I'll take them off
your hands!

I'd definately replace the DX 40 filters to start with. 40 or 50 year
electrolytics
are garbage, even you can reform them... Spend a few bucks and do that
part right. Any other electrolytics or paper caps should also be changed.

Check the resistors for obviously signs of overheating. You could do a quick
ohmmeter check to see if any have shifted upwards in value while you're at
it.
The little VF-1 probably could stand a quick alignment, not much to go wrong
with her! You might check the tubes, but if the transmitter makes power then
you are good to go. Clean the cabinets with soap and water or some Fantistic
spray cleaner. You have the start to a real nice classic station; enjoy it
and
treasure it.
