I would probably replace the condensers but just clean the old points if they look OK. The newer replacement points currently offered are not of the quality they used to be and fitment is often a problem. 70psi compression isn’t too bad, but if the motor has sat idle that long, it may be the piston rings are partially stuck. Get it running with some good quality fuel and TCW-3 oil and the rings may loosen up and compression come up somewhat.
