Looking for help restoring an old RCA console TV in Las Vegas

[johnmckay]

My dad recently passed away and one of the items I inherited was the old family RCA console TV. It was a favorite of mine growing up and my dad was so meticulous that he even kept the original paper receipt.
I have some ideas for what I'd like to do with the console that involves gutting the TV portion of the unit (I know, that's probably heresy around here!) and replacing it with a modern TV while keeping the AM/FM radio - Phonograph as is since they still work.
But I'm open to suggestions.
The TV doesn't work as it's just sat collecting dust and degrading since probably 1978-ish. But the radio and record player do still work although the buttons are a bit scratchy when depressed and the left side speaker cuts in and out.
Here's a link to the gallery of photos I've taken if you want to take a look at this classic.

I'm really hoping someone can point me in the right direction to reviving this beauty.
Thanks in advance
