Replace with the types that myself and others have recommended before you get an electric shock
This is a Live chassis design receiver with external connections (Earth also FM antenna and Extension Loudspeaker if it's the early type) that are connected to chassis via two of those capacitors, that's to say that under certain circumstances without an isolating transformer the chassis could rise to a voltage with resect to Earth that equals the mains voltage of say 240 volts AC....Approx 340 volts peak AC...With plenty of current to go with it and through those old wax capacitors should they fail.
The capacitors are readily available.
