Early Telefunken Scroe

I'm not sure where to post this. I bought an old Telefunken "console" unit from a friend but it's a tube/transistor hybrid and we don't have a hybrid forum. There are a few posts on this model but not many. It's an Opus 5650 table top integrated amp/receiver. It has AM/FM/SW1/SW2 bands. I got it with the original Klangbox RB 66 speakers and a Telefunken 566 De Luxe turntable. I have researched the receiver and found that problems with balance and/or volume are probably due to capacitor shorts or leakage. Mine suffers from a weak right channel so a recap of the am is forthcoming. Recapping the power supply and receiver is probably warranted as well.
I can't find any info on the turntable. I suspect (hope) its a Grundig. I powered it up and the FM band produced a most pleasant tube like sound. It was very "ballsy" with lots of floor vibrating bass and a nice soft treble. I am pretty impressed with this little unit. Anyone else have a similar experience or a comment?

That's pretty cool. There was one for sale around here, sadly I missed it.

Any idea what it went for?

I hope it doesn't take much to get it fixed. I hear the circuit is complicated (and I'm simple). What I can hear sounds pretty good though.

The one local to me was a Telefunken Opus Studio, the asking price was $50. The picture posted did not have speakers and the ad was very short.
