Is it a battery and ac set? Looks as though that green thing is a battery.

If its got an AC cord too, its probably just in need of some power supply work. Alot of these portables had selenium rectifiers in them. I had an admiral portable with a similar setup. Replace the selenium rectifier with either a bridge rectifier or a diode and a dropping resistor, then power up and see what happens. Do the tubes at least light?
