Get some solder wick and remove the end of that one with the green crud on
the leads and see if there is a buncha wire still left on that tube socket.....
If it was cut, and not removed with a soldering iron, then the little wire
is still there.....
Do the other parts look like they easily went somewhere....?
Well then they did it more than once.....

The component with the green crud on the leads appears to be a large wattage porcelain resistor. I never saw a capacitor that corroded like that. Maybe the pot is partially open and someone subbed the resistor for it.
