Is this a battery set? What are the valve codes?

The valves are often in good working order in these old sets, as they deteriorate with use rather than time. There are many other components that will need checking and replacing though, including perished rubber wiring as you mention.

Repairing and restoring 1930s sets is actually quite a specialised job, even within the vintage radio community.
