Hey Charles - welcome. Good decision. We met at the auction.
An AW-12 Alwave Deluxe is a good model as your first Scott restoration.
There is help here. You can try a search for AW-12 and the similar AW-15 for threads with photos and hints. This chassis has good access inside to most caps that need replacement. In addition to the obvious ones underneath, there is one inside each IF transformer can - the middle 3 across the back of the receiver. Those large chrome cans are press fit and cover a number of coils and such.
Regarding the coil wheel inside, you will need to dismount it to access a couple caps. CAUTION move the band switch to full counter-clockwise (broadcast band) before you dismount the coil wheel and do not turn that pointer knob until you have re-mounted the coil wheel. WHY ? because that assembly also has a shaft into the overhead antenna coil that operates a switch, there which can be broken if the coil wheel drive is disturbed.
But first, print off the an owners manual for an Allwave Deluxe with AVC (Automatic Volume Control) to get familiar with features and the control functions. You will also find technical info and circuit diagram for the model using a blue glass Wunderlich tube (3rd back on the left side).
