Looking for help fixing a Dynasty HT-959 "Wheely"

HI, I recently won a Dynasty HT-959 in a local auction. Cost me about $190. Sold as non-working. Once I got it it indeed does not work. It had no power. I opened it up and found the blue wire coming from the power port disconnected. I was pretty sure it should go to the swicth if that is what it is even called that had a yellow and red wire going to the transformer. Luckily I found an old post on here from Lasonic TRC-920 showing images restoring one which confirmed the broken wire went to the center pin of that switch with the yellow wire on top and red wire to the bottom. I have resoldered the wire back on.

Now I get the eq lights on and the lights above the speakers have one light lit up. Nothing else seems to be working. It doesn't appear that anything else is getting power, tape decks don't even spin. Zero sound from speakers at all, no movement. 101_8904.JPG101_8914.JPG.

I assume the switch is the voltage selector, it should be on 110 for the USA.
You might have to start tracing from the beginning and see where the voltage drops off.

Yes. That is exactly what it is for. I didn't notice at first because it's hidden in the battery compartment but it is indeed a switch for 110 and 220. It is set for 110 currently. I am thinking of maybe just doing a full recap and see what happens. I could look for broken traces too. At this point it needs a full cleaning so I'm thinking of desoldering some wires, pulling everything out, recapping all the boards, cleaning with electrical cleaner and see where that gets me.
