Dirty potentiometers (L Pads), NOT dirty caps. The caps may be fine.
Wire really doesn't go bad. If the insulation rots then it should be replaced, but if it's intact, KEEP IT ORIGINAL. Collectors prefer these things in original condition. The fact that yours seems to be very close to original WORKING condition is a big plus. I hope you saved the old wire, but if you didn't, generic 16 awg color coded speaker hookup wire will do fine. I know you're not in the US, but here is what I use, unless someone wants to pay extra for "magic" wire.
