These pieces are wonderful sounding works of art! My father has one that I remember listening to as a kid.
Before you go to yanking tubes and caps for replacement, I would recommend a very good cleaning! Clean all pots and slider switches with some electrical contact spray. You can buy some from Radioshack or preferably Fry's Electronics.
Chances are pretty good that the components are in perfectly good shape and the scratching, muddiness, etc is due to dust! Go for the cheapest route before you resort to replacing components!
Also, one big no no is to crank the volume directly after turning on! You will most certainly obliterate the filter caps and possibly several power transistors. Turn the unit on, wait 30 seconds and allow it to warm up first. This will prolong the life of the components and give many years of listening. I know this because of my father's unit and many idiots that would not listen.
Do not let that unit go! From the pics it is in pristine condition and probably worth five to six hundred dollars.
Have fun and keep us posted!

Edit: While cleaning, obviously make sure it is unplugged first! Try turning it on while it's unplugged to discharge some of the dangerous voltages in the caps. Also, it's likely that the engineers soldered on bleeder resistors to help reduce risk of shock. Further, during your cleaning session turn the nobs and flip the switches over and over during and after applying the spray. This will ensure debris and corrosion have been removed completely. If I can think of anything else, I'll post!
