The Candohm resistor is 4.5 ohms wire wound, so far as I can make out it's a dummy load for the output stage when the loudspeaker is disconnected, probably mounted on the chassis, you can replace it with a similar value wire wound resistor rated at 10 watts.
Thank you so much Lawrence ! I can not wait to start working on this

The 8uF 450V is simply an HT decoupling electrolytic type. All of the other ringed capacitors look to be decouplers of one sort or another.
Thank you for the clarification. Will use a generic electrolytic caps then...

Many many thanks for marking the signal caps out, really appreciate it.
