A Beginner's Journey: The Philco 40-190

Found a can of the right stuff. I still think I'll overhaul that 40-180 chassis as a practice unit before I go bananas on the 40-190--which, given some of the corrosion issues, may be a lost cause... I think the tuning gangs may have some corrosion on them as well, which (unless someone has a great method for cleaning them) may well signify 'game over.'
Anyway. Next question. Does it matter what type of capacitor I use as long as the capacitance and voltage are right? i.e., axial vs. radial (though I can see where chassis 'fit' might come into play), that style of kidney. I need to acquire the necessary capacitors (including new electrolytics) and would like to not spend a lot of time or money buying the wrong thing. (Ideally I'd like to try e-cap re-stuffing but I think I'll work up to that.  )
