As to plugging it in , sure , it's your basic "AA5" that parts are more than plentiful for , and the worst it's likely to do will be to have a loud buzz or hum sound from the speaker . Since that replacement for C1 (the power supply's "filter capacitor") looks kinda old itself it may give the hum I mentioned , or then again it just may work , and throwing the juice to it is as Electronic Memory said , really only a risk to the common as dirt 35W4 power supply rectifier tube .
At least, the person that installed the 'lytic wasn't vague, they did use Sprague.
The original caps were lousy, didn't last very long.
