I would assume that the choke may have burned out at some time (possibly 
due to a series resonance).  The guy assumed it was a parasitic problem 
and replaced the suppressors (looks like the Nichrome type that Rich 
Measures advocates) and fixed the choke, putting gunk on it to 'help'. 
God knows what else he did.

I would evaluate it assuming that the tubes, suppressors, and RF choke 
are worthless.  If the price is still right, then you could go for it. 
It's likely that the filament transformer, input components, tank 
circuit, etc. are OK (although it would be an unpleasant surprise if 
there were a  burned bandswitch contact).
