Just got back from a short Halloween camping trip with the kids and thanks for the welcome and replying to my 531 questions. I think I'm going to go with electrolytics for the 1, 2 and 4 uF units in the container. I'll be sure to get my wife's permission before baking that old unit first though. Looks like three of the .1uF caps have the 100 ohm resistor wound around them. I will be leaving the caps in as not to have to replace the resistors and just cut the lead that goes to the transformers from the old unit and installing new caps alongside the old. Probably won't get to play with this again until next weekend...sigh.

The issue with the fading audio - is this possibly related to the caps as well?
