That's a very sharp looking radio. I don't think I've ever seen an Admiral solid state multiband portable.

As far as caps, I've seen a lot of solid state equipment from the '50's and '60's that used those hard plastic cased electrolytic caps and they are almost always bad. The most recent examples were two RCA solid state console stereo's. One was from '65 and the other was from '69. Both worked fine after an electrolytic recap.
