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.

I'm having trouble identifying some of the components. I took Phil's suggestion and read through the antiqueradio website on identifying the caps and it helped a lot but I see a number of components that I can't identify. They look like ceramic covered coils, or resistors with coils on them. The check marks on the Sam's sheet are caps that I'm pretty sure I can identify.
The picture that came with my Sams folder isn't clear enough for me to identify all the items I'm looking at. I took some close ups of the area but that didn't help much. Maybe I'm taking the wrong approach. Should I just look for the caps that I know need to be replaced as described in the antiqueradio website? Following the information given in the article and looking at the photo I would say there are no caps that need to be replaced in the area shown. At the same time I think I can identify about eight caps in the picture.
