Photo of the electronics. I've replaced the two largest caps, on the right.
I made a mistake. I live near Kenosha, WI. and they have a "real" electronics supply. So, I went there for replacement caps. They are far better than Radio Shack and the like, but they really have mainly low voltage / wattage etc.
I could not find all the caps I needed, but picked up what I could. I found tonight that many of them are simply too large to use for restuffing the old. As long as I need to order others, and a tube, I figured I'd replace the lot. Lesson learned.
