You'll want to replace the electrolytic caps, the paper caps and, the bakelite caps. Make sure you get equivalent or greater voltages when buying caps. Most modern electronic supply places don't carry caps with high enough voltages (the ones local to me don't), so you might have to order them online. Any mica caps in your set are probably ok.

Here is link to the schematic and parts list for your radio.. http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/vi...013251.pdf

Don't forget to check all the resistors too.
