Opening up the Zenith 2560

As I was about to move the Zenith console into my house, I noticed that there was an awful lot of junk falling out of the back of the radio from my journey home... a quick inspection revealed evidence that mice had moved into the console at some point. So instead of bringing it into the basement, it moved into the garage for a while. I began to open it up and snap some various pictures so I can evaluate things from afar and remember how it was all together before tearing it apart.
Here are some of the pictures.

An inside view of the tuner and the record changer.  
Left Speaker, super clean and nice!


The Amp. A 7D31 with all the pretty tubes. Pretty dusty... Notice the broken 12-inch speaker. 

The Zenith Cobra-Matic. I need to find out what model number this is...

A label from inside.

Model 2560 R. You could barely read this from the dust, I had to wash it off. 

Speaker Terminals. Oddly only red, black and white are connected.

Terminal connections for the bulb that lights up on the front of the console. 

I believe these terminals connect up to the remote speaker inputs.
