Wirewound resistors can look very tatty but if they read the correct resistance then they are OK. Those capacitors will need replacing, but it should be done after you've powered the set via a lamp limiter.
I think I warned that the Trader sheets renumber the components compared to the original manufacturer data.
The fact that NOTHING happens means you first need to check the continuity fromt he mains plug through to the transformer. With the set switched on, the resistance between L and N should be a few 10s of ohms. If it's open circuit then you need to find that fault first. If the switch is faulty then just short out the bad section. If the voltage selector is faulty just short it out int he correct position. If the transformer primary is faulty then you are very unlucky.
