That power supply unit is the biggest thing I'm dreading about it. Even if the original capacitors are still functioning, I'd feel better about replacing them because I don't want to be listening to the radio and have one of the old caps short and possibly burn up the power transformer. I've already found a schematic and have ordered all the caps and resistors that I'll likely need. From the past AK's that I've worked on, it's been my experience that the glass resistors are either open or way up in value.
