Well crew, I replaced 7 suspected capacitors (as per Larry Pina's book) last night, but not the High Voltage 200v capacitors.
Today, I have purchased said capacitors and will tackle the job tonight. We can hope that the Mac will power up after this. I've also secured a hot melt glue gun to reapply the melted glue I had to remove from the old capacitors. The glue gun was free, but the capacitors cost me $36 AU for just 4 of them, so i'm praying here that this will resolve the problem. I blew my last cash reserves on these things, but I couldn't resist the chance to have it working again.
Fingers crossed.
