Hi Bogframe , From your pictures the only mod I see is that someone in the past replaced the multi capacitor "C1" with a replacement unit that is not circuit board mounted like the original , and did a kinda kludgy job by soldering it to the (presumably) ground lug of the speaker as a mounting point .
As to plugging it in , sure , it's your basic "AA5" that parts are more than plentiful for , and the worst it's likely to do will be to have a loud buzz or hum sound from the speaker . Since that replacement for C1 (the power supply's "filter capacitor") looks kinda old itself it may give the hum I mentioned , or then again it just may work , and throwing the juice to it is as Electronic Memory said , really only a risk to the common as dirt 35W4 power supply rectifier tube .
