The problem with totally recapping a non working radio is that you may put all the effort into replacing the caps, only to find that there is a bad part which is not available or economically feasible to replace. Sometimes it just does not make sense to try to rebuild a common chassis when you could find a complete working replacement easily.

In my experience, troubleshooting first after replacing the filter caps and checking the B+ line for shorts is a better way to go. This has been my approach and others may have a different opinion.
