Ben, can you post a picture of the bottom of the chassis? There seems to be some confusion as to whether the radio has been recapped or not. Showing a picture of the components under the chassis will settle the question.
In the photos you have already posted, the caps visible have been all modern orange drop style replacements, so this confirms that at least some have the caps have been already changed.
