After a few hours of work, the AM/audio board had a complete set of new Nichicon electrolytics:

The FM board had two axial electrolytics. These were also replaced:

While I was in there, I lubricated the ball bearings of the tuning cap. I had noticed when tuning FM stations that it was very scratchy (but not on AM). I looked it over as best as I could for shorting plates; I saw none. So I hoped that lubrication would help.
