Rather than use the parts list to plan what to buy and replace, I recommend that you look at each part on the chassis itself to read its value and make your own list. That way, you will easily see what type each capacitor is, and you will get lots of hands-on practice with the parts as well. As you do this, also try to look for repairs done in the past-often, shinier solder blobs, parts that look cleaner or not matching most others, parts with wires twisted inline with the old ones, etc. The one item where this will not work is with any electrolytic capacitors that have cardboard covers over them. Their values are marked on the can itself underneath the cardboard.
