Philco split chassis. They made them for roughly 5 years. They're great beginners sets. They usually come back to life with just a recap and perform nicely. Each chassis is about the size of a large table radio or mid-size console chassis so relatively easy to work on. There were several versions of both chassis over the years, but the interface was standardized to the point a service tech with a spare chassis could swap it into any split chassis TV and the set would work.
They're rather cap heavy as we're all Philcos until around the time the Predicta came along.
The Predicta era was the low point of Philco chassis design, they threw away the cool running and serviceable design of the split chassis when they made the Predicta, got a lot of shade thrown their way for the Predicta then came up with the cool chassis sets which were good again.

If the CRT is good, work through it normally and it'll probably be a pleasant restoration. These sets aren't worth a ton so if the CRT is bad it's not worth investing in.
