The chassis looks a lot like mine on the 47-1230.
You should try to look inside the chassis, just to see if there's any bad surprises. But I think you're up to a good start. hey it looks brand new, was it refinished or something?
You can start by changing just the electrolytics. The way I understand it, the e-caps are dangerous, while the paper caps are more a matter of quality/ precision. I would also add a fuse and change the power cord. I'd feel safer knowing a fuse will blow if there are shorts.
On mine, I plan to change the electrolytics and the chopped wires, then look into paper caps. I hope I have all I need in the mail from radiodaze; I ordered a replacement for everything that is in the mfd range.
I already added a 3-prong cord with a fuse.
