The Sony may be of a vintage when they actually FIXED stuff. You may want to take it to a fixit guy and get an estimate. I'm surprised the cans haven't exploded on 'ya.

The Adcom? Also nearing the useful life time of its caps. While you are dragging the Sony around, I'd consider bringing the Adcom along to keep it company.

If you are the handy sort, and have the basic kit (iron workstation, solder wick, solder, magnifier and a selection of hand tools) the PS caps are perhaps the easiest part to change. My old Carver Cube was like a Chinese Puzzle Box and a mechanical nightmare, but the Adcom and maybe the Sony should be pretty straightforward.
