RE: Here are some pictures

Actually, you're better off than I originally thought. I expected to see a sea of ceramic capacitors. I see only one ceramic, that buried orange flat thing near the tape-phono switch. Replace it with a polystyrene or SBC716P. Also the aluminum polarized power supply caps are the same color gray as the dielectric mylar films. The aluminum electrolytic cans HAVE to be replaced because of age. Panasonic or Nichicon radials or axials are your best bet from Digikey or Mouser. Their di-electic is caustic and destroy themselves after about 15-20 years of age. SBC716P capacitors are your best bet for the small value caps like .1uf. Antique Radio Supply in Tempe, AZ is another good sourse. M.B.
