This is a full disassembly, repair, and reassembly of a Bose Wave Radio that is suffering from the "Please Wait" error.
I was able to get the radio fixed by replacing six capacitors on the main logic board.
Model # AWRCC1
Electrolytic Capacitors were purchased from Digikey in the US.
Here is a link to my saved cart that includes extra capacitors from the entire main board (I only ended up needing to replace the 6 capacitors as shown in the video):

!CAUTION! The quantity and values of the capacitors in your radio may be different than what is included in this list even if the model numbers are the same. Please check your unit for the exact values and quantities.

I replaced a total of six capacitors within the metal shroud as follows:
1- 100uf @ 6v P803-ND/ECE-A0JKA101
2- 22uf @ 6v P800-ND/ECE-A0JKA220
2- 10uf @ 16v P807-ND/ECE-A1CKA100
1- 47uf @ 6v P802-ND/ECE-A0JKA470
In my parts list I ordered extra quantities of these values since they were inexpensive (in case they got damaged during the repair). I also went ahead and ordered the values for the capacitors outside of the metal shroud just in case any of them had failed since I didn't know which ones were actually bad.
A few viewers have asked how to determine the polarity of the capacitors. Here is an article that will help with that: https://www.digikey.com/en/blog/identifying-capacitor-polarization
