I would like to know how hard it is to replace the old filter caps in these old Telefunkens and how good of a performer will this radio be once its recapped?

Also where did this radio fall in the model heirarchy?

Thanks for your help with this radio.
The term "Gavotte" is used in the lyrics of the song, "You're so Vain".
I looked it up in the dictionary!
I have a few German sets.
The selector switches are crumbling from using the wrong contact cleaner.
