>One is a 12 mfd x 15 volt attached to one of the 6C5 tubes. What would be a good replacement for this one?
It's the cathode bypass cap for the 1st audio stage. Value isn't very critical 16 or 22mf is fine @ 20 or 25v
>Wondering what the purpose of the flexible resistor is that is mounted to the cap?
Don't know not enough info. What is it connect to??? Tube and pin #. Best guess is that it's one on the cathode resistor for the rf,mixer, or if amp tubes . All 3 have a 300 ohm resistor and a .1mf cap across it. If so 400v is a bit of an over kill as there is only 10v or so there.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
