I would recommend the Sherwood psu mod.
It'll get rid of most of your other dubious electrolytics in one fell
swoop and will also significantly reduce heat disipation around the pto
area This will lead to a significant improvement in frequency
stability. It's a straight forward installation too.

Subject: [drakelist] R4C hum
Hello list...I recently acquired a nice
R4C,but it has some issues...I powered up slowly on a variac,but the filter
caps were hopelessly shot. I replaced with a Sherwood filter cap kit.I have
far less hum,but it's still there,just not as bad(I can hear reciever hiss
now). Would a power supply mod be in order,(Sherwood)or should I just change
out the caps on the p/s board? I'm new to Drake gear and wanted to see what
the general consensus of the Drake gang would be.
I plan on keeping the R4C for a
while,so I want to do it right the first time.
