Marantz 1120: recapping questions

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I just picked up a Marantz 1120 amplifier which works, but sounds awful, which I expected. So I know that I should replace all the electrolytics in the power supply. But wondering what would be the next most important caps to replace. For instance, the electrolytic coupling capacitors in the preamp. And what about the nasty looking MKT 1813 film capacitors, also in the preamp and tone board? Any or all advice would be greatly appreciated!
