Thanks everyone for all the info, I think I will replace all the capacitors and see what happens. A couple of questions (since I’m still learning this electronic stuff). There are 10 capacitors that I am familiar with, and then there are 2 of these silver rectangular components (see attached pics), are they also capacitors? Or a resistor? If a cap, what do I need as a replacement (there are 2 of these on the circuit board).

About the diodes possibly being bad, what replacements should I use? Radio Shack has a bunch of different ones, a couple that I looked at are 3amp barrel diodes, Cat# 276-1141, and 276-1144 and there are numerous other ones, would any of these that I listed be good replacements or what would be your recommendation?

Also with diodes, the newer ones have a silver band around them, the ones in my radio do not, they are barrel shaped with one end having a conical shape would this be equivalent to the silver band on the newer diodes? Match the silver band on the new diodes to the conical end on the old diodes?
