Quick background, i am restoring a vintage Magnavox astro-sonic console stereo, and the system works, however there is a hum in the speakers, regardless of volume setting. I have been told this hum is because the isolation capacitors are getting old, and likely need replacing, the current ones I believe are the yellow ones in the picture.

1) Are the ones from here viable replacements? If not, where can i find replacement caps.
2) are those the only caps that would have to be changed?

yup good ... I think ... assuming the one in you photo is 1500uF and not 150 uF ?? is too hard to read

possibly not, but if gear is over ~ 25 yrs of age, all the electrolytic caps will be suspect
