Well I have a good head start in recapping this radio, I have all but 3 of the coupling capacitors replaced (2 of them I won't bother with becuse they're just going across the AC Input to ground, one on each side of the AC plug hookup on the chassis, and they don't look like they are in that bad of shape, so I won't bother replacing them for right now).

The power supply caps might be a little trickier to place in the radio because there isn't very many places for one to place the new filter caps under the chassis as far as grounding the negative leads of the filter caps to.
Also the wires and resistors and capacitors that were connected to the original can capacitors leads don't have much in the way of leads on them to go by for connecting them to the new capacitors.

And I replaced the old selenium rectifier with a 1N4007 rectifier diode under the chassis, but left the old Selenium rectifier in place for appearances sake, same for the old can capacitor.
