It's probably 100% fine.
No, dear. You need to remove most of the speakers before you turn it on again. I'm amazed it hasn't burned the house down by now.

It needed to have all of the electrolytic capacitors replaced 5 or 10 years ago. They invariably go bad after 30 to 35 years. I can almost guarantee it doesn't sound as good as it did when it was new. Recapping will fix that right up and probably give it another 40 years of life, if it isn't already ruined.
I want you to post a picture that clearly shows where the speaker wires are connected to the back of the receiver. Maybe I can spot a short, which almost certainly exists with that many wires crammed into the tiny space between terminals.
Then I want you to shoot the moron who did this to your beautiful stereo.
