Justradios.com is a good source for capacitors. Another thing you may want ie either a variac or a lightbulb array. This is nothing more than a few incandescent lights (60 watt) that can be screwed into and out of their sockets placed in series with one side of the line cord. This will prevent damage to the parts if there is a short circuit in the set. With one you should get some sort of an idea what is happening. If the light stays bright then there may be a short.
When using a variac, get one with an ammeter on it. As you bring up the voltage, if the meter shows rapid increase of current, there is a short or leaky electrolytic (always a concern as they can make a good mess).
Like I said, any questions, always ask!
