I fix plenty of computer motherboards with bad capacitors. It's easy, cheap and usually fixes the problem.

A lot of times, when a capacitor goes, the top will "pop" and a dark liquid will ooze out and harden, much like old alkaline batteries.

Get the specs off the old capacitors and start calling your local electronics stores. Radio shack may carry them, but a good mom and pop electronics store would be a better bet.
