Help needed with AM-1780B (VIC-1)

I have an AM-1780 main unit that will not power up.
I took back cover off and found two caps blown, and am hoping if I replace them, I can get it working again.
The two caps are on J501 (upper.right side)

I'm hoping someone can look at a good unit or a schematic they have and tell me the values of those two caps.
I've attached a pic of the two blown ones on my unit.

Thanks for any assistance..

Mike

Search for Steve Haney. He is the master of military radios and is quite willing to answer questions via email. He got my RT-524 and VIC-1 up and running.

I would also suggest getting the manuals downloaded and identify the part from the parts manual. That would help in the search.
