the "u" is there in case you added UHF, that is where you would tune for it. The first non-UHF set I had, I about wore out the fine tuning dial thinking it would get me something!
Those red drops should be fine. The "Elmenco" caps don't hold up to bad, in my experience, but if you can replace them go ahead and do it. As for the crystal, I only have one set that uses one, and had never seen one before. Its in my CTC-12. Works just fine, in fact that set is one of my best performers. So I wouldn't touch it unless it proved bad.
When I replaced the electrolytics in my CTC-11, which looks simliar, the space was a little tight for fitting all the new ones below the chassis. But it can be done, just have to be creative. If you went with new cans (above chassis) thats not a problem but I've never done that, not sure how good a replacement you could get.
