At that price I'd want to be certain it was those caps. Can you isolate
the main amps or perhaps short the inputs to be certain it isn't coming

Just solder a new 80v cap of almost any flavour over 1000uf across whats
there.


Identical issue in 50 year old valve radio. Fixed it.

I've got several amps here a lot older than that on the original smoothing
caps.


Bad caps abounded 7-10 years ago.

They all dried out..
