Once the caps are replaced then that will make any other trouble shooting much easier. Also check the resistors for values, on older radios with the dogbone type resistors the values will shift much higher than they are rated. Normally +/-20% of the original value is ok, replace any that exceed this. Some people like to keep the look of the dogbone and I try to run the replacement resistor under the dogbone and clip the one lead and put a shrink warp around the clipped leg act as the original lead. Most people just replace them all together but that is up to you, if you want to retain the original look.
