Very cool amp.
It's pretty important to insulate the casing on those radial electrolytics from your chassis especially in series like that where they will have different voltages relative to ground.

Looks like a great platform for whatever you want to do with it. The only concern I see is the gauge of the orange heater wire looks a little thin.
If it says "Vintage" on it, -it isn't.

Wow, you have the transition series amplifier that later became Fender "Japan Only distribution" from the early seventies, Cool. You have that amplifier that joins Custom Amp from Elk to Fender Japan. After the Elk factory fire in 1969, there were several chassis cases that were not damaged in that fire, that sold for scrap prices. Check out that story from Dr. Tube's website.
Look under Elk!
Ibanez will show up in that lead-in, but while stationed in Japan during the mid-1970s I witnessed that slow transformation in gear and labels. (From 1977 -1981)
