If you cannot see a dial lamp it did not come with one from the factory and you will probably need to do a retrofit such as with NE-2 neon bulbs and resistors on a terminal strip.
Those black caps with color bands can short out and explode! so it would be best not to use the radio till you replace them.
All you really need to fix this radio are good soldering skills and electrical safety skills as opposed to extensive troubleshooting skills. Most of what you need to do is preventive maintenance as the radio works for the most part already...however it will not stand up to much use with those old caps in it.
Having a Sams Photofact schematic will make it a lot easier as all parts are identified on a photograph of the chassis in addition to a wiring schematic.
