happyphantom...that cabinet is in wonderful condition!
As you all ready know, it's most important to change out the electrolytics, first. Once these are changed, the buzz and hum should be gone. If not, don't get discouraged! Tubes and other components can cause similar symptoms.
You should change all of the paper/wax capacitors too. Don't get in a hurry, and change only one capacitor at a time. After replacing each component, turn on the radio, to verify you didn't make an error. You have already confirmed the radio works, sort of, so you have a baseline to make comparisons.
FM too...WOW! 8)
Good luck and have fun!
