If all you did was replace the electrolytic capacitors then you are a long way from done with a proper electronic restoration. All of the brown tubular paper capacitors and the block cap need to be changed. The paper caps are likely what is causing the ticks and distortion in your audio, and are also likely contributing to it's weak reception.

The block caps in those are usually there to filter the AC line by bypassing noise on it it to the chassis. You really need to replace them with AC line rated safety capacitors...Some sets have them installed before the power switch, and if they fail when no one is around to deal with it, the results could be a fire and a lawsuit.
