Thought; Make a recording of how well it sounds Now before you replace any capacitors, Then Replace the capacitors in the power supply and in the amplifer section best as you would know, then replay your first recording using the same music as before you replaced the 'caps' then you will know the difference of, and the worthiness of doing such maintenance

The electrolytic ones - Would the the "Only" One's to replace as they are the most susceptible to going bad

To add to this, the ones in the power supply are most heavily stressed, so if you don't want to replace them all, just change the large value capacitors near the power input.
I would add though, if its working fine then probably best leave it alone, the quality of 70-80's Japanese made stuff is very good.
