Thank you all for your input.
I will do as recommended by many of you: roll tubes first and then consider the caps. I took the bottom off the amp and found that the caps mentioned by most are two large 0.33UFD 5% 630VDC and four 0.022UF 5% 630VDC. I realize you can't tell much by looks but they did look pretty good. They are oval.
I have some ECC82 (Tung-Sol black glass) and 5751 (GE black plate) on the way and now I'm trying to decide on the EL34/6CA7.
Thanks again.
