Default 19 set

Don't even think about applying power to the power supply or the radio as the electrolyte paper capacitors have a nasty habit of drying out. which can short out and all the magic smoke will disappear making the radio a boat anchor.
The capacitors might be able to be reformed or possibly be replaced to bring the radio back to life.
Here is a list of the parts that would finish the radio.

Easy to find items.
2 headsets No. 8 or 10
breast plate for mic
Lamp operator no 6
Key and plug assy no 9
aerial base no 9 za 10322
aerial rod G
Aerial rods F
Aerial dummy za/can 0677
Case spare valves
Case spare parts
Connector coax set a/b # 10/11

Hard or impossible to find parts
Water proof cover for no 23 base (getting hard to find)
grommet rubber no 23 for F rod (Ultra rare)
cover variometer no 16 (very rare)
Battery boxes, original's near impossible to find but repros are being made.
