The chief concerns are: 1) will they fit, and 2) what is the voltage rating?

Otherwise, anything you can get into the can should work. Most of those 
caps are simple bypass caps.

BTW, as odd as it may sound, I have yet to find even one of the three 
electrolytic caps in any of the receivers I have tested to be bad. That 3 mfd 
job on the RF gain line has always been good, even when every other one 
was bad.
