That Sprague "atoms" cap reminds me of some caps that were around when I was a kid in the 60's. It's a little hard to tell from the pic but the ones that were about 1 1/2" x 4" long were 100mfd at 450v. A little over kill for your 16B.
On the code 121's I've been putting Philco spkr plugs/sockets on them. It just make life easier to move it around. On the tombstone (1934) installing the spkr back into the cabinet is little precarious. Having the chassis half out and aligning the edge of the spkr into to cove at the peak cabinet. As the hold down screws are sliding out of the front. It can be a little frustrating.
They are fun sets to work on... Sometimes...

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!
