Thanks, Gadget. There must be a short somewhere because I replaced it with a 1/2 watt and the thing fried instantly. I guess in that case I should proceed with recapping and see if that solves it.

I have read that it's good practice to check that the radio works after each capacitor is replaced, but if something is frying that doesn't seem wise.
