Electronic M has a point. I could go either way with this.
However if you are a newbie to this kind of stuff (and you sound like you are) you may create more problems than solve them.
Not only do you have to get the type, value and voltage rating right but you must not make a mistake connecting to the right points. With electrolytic caps you also get the polarity right. It takes a level of concentration that someone that has done a lot of can take for granted. I have come to this conclusion after helping many newbies.
I would definitely replace the electrolytic caps, those almost always have a metal case even if that is covered with a plastic film or cardboard.
You really should get the service info on the set, that may clear up some facts like the type of capacitors and where they are in the circuit.
