Sony ICF-200W Handheld Transistor Radio Issues

Hello Everyone, the other day I bought from goodwill a Sony AM/FM Pocket Transistor radio from about the late 1970s or early 1980s that runs off of 3 "AA" batteries which when I got the radio home I found that the radio had some 20+ year old Duracell batteries in it that had leaked into the battery compartment but somehow managed to spare the rest of the radio I think, but anyways I tried putting some new "AA" batteries into the radio and the radio refuses to power on. The circuit board looks like its in good shape yet there aren't any bulging capacitors in it (it uses only 3 or 4 electrolytic capacitors the rest are ceramic disc capacitors.) I'm hoping that the old batteries that leaked in the radio didn't ruin the radio beyond repair. What could be the issue with the radio?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Levi.
