Upon further inspection i can see why the previous owner removed the plug. Looks like it was previously ran and overheated... Power trans looks a bit waxy, A dime size drop of wax was on the cabinet bottom, and caps 86 and 68 look like they didnt appreciate the experience... Not smelling any burnt windings from the power trans...
At this point i figured i had nothing to lose, so i pulled the #80 rectifier, added some safety fuses, and......Gave her some juice.. The bulbs light, and the tube heaters all lit up as well.... Decided to press my luck, Inserted the 80 tube for a few seconds long enough to hear a hum from whats left of the speaker and shut it down without incident....(smoke, fire, etc..)
And thats as far as i go with power applied from here on till re-capped...
