Ok, be careful! You have audio getting to the AM modulator, so those caps can be ruled out for the most part.

I'm talking about others that you worked with in the Receive side, Like C10 by the L14/L15 and AM Detector - they are in various spots - just take your time and go over them...

Make sure they didn't short, do a voltage check carefully - across them, you'll see they hold a voltage a DC bias,

They also block Bias from affecting the amplifier output of one to the input of another stage.

One amplifier section communicates to the other - one type of capacitor is used to filter out noise - these are key areas to consider, if a voltage is "dead" and your in the right place for RX voltage to be there, you know you've got a problem.
