The clock uses a relatively high-voltage rail - again there will be a capacitor here.
As a start it won't cost much to change all the electrolytics in the power supply, as VHS Doctor advises, then see what works.
As Nick says, a manual will be your best friend here.

Hi many thanks for your replies, sorry I haven't replied straight away but i've been a bit busy. Is the PSU easily repairable? This would explain why it's not switching on properly, however, I did see what looks like a scortch mark on the clock faicre but I couldn't see any other blown components. Also, something (i'm not sure what it is) located on the underside board at RY2001 keeps clicking when I try and rewind a tape, not sure if this helps.
