I've always loved the big home entertainment systems. Magnavox was always a favorite of mine.

You might want to check the ground connections, and the condition of the solder at the pin connectors at the modules, and also, the solder connections at the plugs on the modules. I saw alot of low-use chassis with bad soldering, just like the high-use ones.

I had this same Star system chassis on a customers set for years. It had some issues with board connections, but ran well until lightning ran into the set due to his satellite dish not being grounded. The tuner module had its covers blown off. What solder in there? I should have taken pictures. It was so weird to see.
