No problem at all
I should have shown the completed shopping cart afterwards to be clearer about my order.
Since they only can get a 15uF/350VDC cap, I will be ordering that one if that wouldn't be a problem…
Most of the "faulty" resistors are the large old carbon (1W I reckon) resistors, the old metal film resistors seem fine.
So I will finish my order with Distrilec and receive the goods around next week monday. And install them that night or the day afterwards and test the radio, if everything seems alright and the humming/ buzzing noise is gone. Then the problem is solved!
If not, it's back checking everything…

You could be right Chris, but the electrolytic capacitors needed to be replaced (see post 18).
