What are you planning to do with 10uF and 20uF 200V caps?

May I suggest something? It seems to me you are just do trial and error and "maybe it will work" approach.
It rarely works.

Maybe it is a good time to stop and try to understand what you are trying to do and why.

Develop a plan. And go by it. The photo of the chassis you put here looks horrible. I sincerely hope this is what you are trying to fix, and not what you think you have fixed.

Find out what parts to use, what not to use, check the wiring. Do not just turn it on: I've been fixing these for over 10 years AND I am an EE, AND I will never ever turn a radio on UNTIL I fully checked everything.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
