Ed;
If those a surface mount electrolytics I have heard of people replacing them with through hole ones by bending the leads accordingly to line up with the pads, and also with judicious use of soldering paste, but surface mount boards are honestly not my bag. Hopefully your Sony doesn't have something like a proprietary IC that has gone bad, Sony was starting to go down that dark road by the 90s after Mr. Morita retired.
