I don't have experience with that model (was asleep at the switch on an auction with one after I won my Westinghouse 15" color a few years ago), but Shango has a fairly solid methodology for repairing SMD. 1.) don't adjust tuned coils till step 5. 2.) disassemble the original caps scrape away shorts and measure with one of those $15 Chinese RLC testers. 3.) install trimmer caps and align those trimmers and check their value to verify values. 4.) install fixed Caps of the closest standard valve to what previous measurements indicate (verify values with meter before install). 5.) align the radio according to the service manual.
