as you can see from my threads, I was in the same boat not long ago. I have replaced all the caps and put heat shrink on their leads. The old solder was a pain. Resistors I decided to wait on. Now that I am done for the moment, I am listening to it and it sounds really fine. So courage and go for it! BTW, I used fishing line leader to replace the tuning cord. Cost me nothing, since I had it around.
