I ended up purchasing a similar unit on eBay. It's circa 1965, and needs repair. It has a calibration sticker from 1985. I'll post more exhaustive photos the next time I do some disassembly. The major differences I saw is that my cabling is tied together with twine, whereas the newer unit used zip-ties. Also, the clips to hold the cables on the sides of the unit were clear plastic that disintegrated.
Every board is shielded which two or three metal plates. To disassemble the unit, one must first take the top, sides, and back off the case, and then unbolt the modules from the bottom. Then, the module will lift up, and access is provided to the screws on the sides of the module. Most of the module have shielded sub-modules, too.
The shipping weight of the unit was 54 lb.
As mentioned, the unit needs repair. With the switch off, the ovens (both reference oven and resistor ovens) heat up. The reference provides close to 10 V (I didn't accurately measure it). The ovens used about 60W of power. But, with the power turned on, there's a loud 60 Hz hum. My guess is that some (or all) of the capacitors are leaky.
I'm thinking about attacking the problem one module at a time. I'll disassemble the module, catalogue the components and maybe make schematics, order replacement capacitors, and perhaps test the module if I can figure out what it does. During the process, I'll post photos. I hope that nothing will be damaged if I power it up without modules in place....
I did find one small vacuum tube (shielded, of course). Everything was much more transistorized than expected.
A photo of board C is attached. I'm going to try to find film capacitors and aluminium electrolytics to replace the caps.
I recognize most of the components, but what is the yellow epoxy coated component in the lower right? 1.250k resistor? Capacitor?
