These sets used 4mm diameter plugs and sockets for the aerial and earth sockets. Unlike the 1/8" diameter plugs and sockets used in British sets, these are freely available. Just Google "4mm wander plug" or "4mm banana plug"
You can connect the earth to a metal water pipe. This is a signal earth, not a safety earth. You can fit a three core mains flex if you wish and connect the earth wire to the set's chassis.

Note also that these sets were designed for use on 220 VAC supplies.
BTW. I'm not touting for business. I won't be fixing any more of these sets.
