This is my thread from 10 years ago on 111.

The types of cap block refer to the versions for 110VAC 25Hz and 60Hz. 25Hz had larger values caps, as well as the radios (not sure about this one) themselves had heavier transformer.
You being in the US (Canada had 25Hz) yours is likely 60Hz. And even if yours is 25Hz, you could use 60Hz values, as we have 60Hz in our outlets.
The radio is not too complicated to restore. Mine had every transformer, other than the power one, open.

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.
