You mention recapping the electrolytics, but did you replace the other capacitors and check for out-of-tolerance resistors?

Your location is not listed so I'm not sure if there is a local radio club that could help you out or not. I just hesitate to have someone who has never measured voltages poking around in a live radio chassis. I don't want your first experience using a meter to be your last! What schematic do you have? The one listed on Nostalgia Air is pretty hard to read:
