I tend to run a fingernail through the wax to scrape some off. Not the pleasantest of things to do but it seems to work well enough.
At these low voltages, even a leaky waxy will probably be good enough except in a few sensitive places like AGC lines. Though this set uses an 8uF electrolytic on the AGC.
I'd replace all the electrolytics. Values aren't critical. 10u will repalce 8u. 22u or even 47u will repalce 25u etc. The only one that might make me pause is C22, 4u. I'd probably find a 4u7 rather than just stick in 10u as it could be regulating the bass response. I'd also replace the waxies even though I know in my heart that it's almost certainly not necessary.
