I don't have a photo of the top side of the chassis right now, but here is a clarified photo showing the control amplifier board (where the tone controls and balance control are mounted) and the preamplifier:

The control amplifier appears to only have a few 1 uF electrolytics, but the preamplifier has several electrolytics of various sizes.
It looks like I can easily unsolder, replace and solder any electrolytics I need to replace on the control amplifier board without removing it from the chassis. The preamplifier is a different story - it would have to be removed to replace components, and it does not look like a fun job.
On top of the chassis reside the FM tuner, the IF board, and the multiplex board. Both IF and multiplex boards have electrolytics on them. Those boards also would have to be removed to service them.
I get it...I need to replace those electrolytics, also...right?
