I've fixed 3 clock mechanisms by replacing the caps. The caps were absolutely bone dry inside. I found the board fairly well made and easy to desolder. If the caps in the CC are like the ones in the clock, they aren't house marked and clearly state uF, working voltage, and polarity. It would probably be worth getting a list together of all the electrolytic caps and ordering them from Mouser or Digi-Key. Modern caps are almost always smaller given WV and capcaitance,so space shouldn't be a problem.
Don't get them from Radio Shack, they are doggie dirt and you will go into debt at their prices (if you can actually find them anymore, given their fine selection).
Mouser and Digi-Key also sell "hi-temp" caps, which are probably worth the premium in this application.
