When it comes to replacement parts, as a beginner it's more important that they can be trusted so stick with:
2W metal film resistors that are rated for 500V.
Polyester capacitors (MKT) which are typically bright yellow.
Good quality high ripple current electrolytic capacitors (F&F).

The TL12+ look in good condition. The first step is to perform resistance checks on all the transformers using a DMM.
