Good luck finding 300A tubes for it! I hope the tubes are strong if you plan on using it. I'm sure it's worth a lot if you decide to sell it. It's likely not many have been privileged to hear this amp or asses it's sound quality.

Yeah not sure about 9/10 considering that age it's untested and also the chassis is quite rusty. But I agree with @larryi I'd take it someplace like Deja Vu and get it up and running in as close to original shape as possible.
