Today UPS brings some capacitors to me so I can try to repair my dead graphite AirPort base station. I've essentially verified it's the two capacitors that are blown; hopefully, I can fix the sucker up.
I gave it to my father-in-law, and he needs it to connect to a modem connection, so third-party options are limited for replacement, and the Apple replacement costs about $200. I could always give him mine with a modem and buy a new one, but I want one with an antenna port (which I am planning on buying soon, the Dr. Bott one), and only the $200 base station has an antenna port.
So I am hoping this $13.50 repair ($1 parts, the rest shipping and handling) will take care of it.
If I don't post a followup soon, it's because I burned my fingers and can't type.
because that's exactly how much difference there is. :-)

more info, and a cheaper option (Score:2)
If you're in the same boat, you can get the replacement parts at a nearby radio shack and save shipping costs (assuming you have one nearby).
It worked for me

And, it worked! No hissing sound, and happy lights, and all is well. I should test the modem and Ethernet ports, but I can see it in my PowerBook's AirPort menu.
