Hi Paul,
I probably wouldn't play it. It looks like three of the blocks have been bypasses w/those orange foil/paper caps (1940's or 50's) and the electrolytic caps are from the 1980's.
For me the recap isn't very time consuming maybe a hour or hour and a half once I have all the parts and tools at the ready.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
