Hi Bruce and welcome back to tubes. I'm sure Terry filled you in on which caps to replace and which ones can be left in for now. My main resource for caps is Mouser. You can replace the paper/wax caps with 630 volt poly film. Any other voltage you'll pay a little more, 630v will cover whatever you need. Get aluminum electrolytic capacitors, preferably manufactured by Panasonic, Nichicon or Illinois. There are a few more but I can't think of them right now. That's why Mouser is so good, no knock-offs. You can get 5.00 shipping from them. I usually buy in quantities of 10 because it reduces the unit cost. But that's because I work on multiple radios. If you are just interested in fixing the one then go ahead and order the quantities you need.
