I checked many of the caps and resistors, and it seems that the only caps that were bad were the across the line caps (there were 3 of them and they were all .02 µF 600V Micamold "Domino" style paper caps which were all leaking "wax" out of them, the rest of the paper caps measured fine yet using my Cornell-Dublier Capacitor Analyzer.
I agree with David that quite possibly this radio's cap's were restuffed sometime in the recent past as they tested little to no leakage, there was 2 paper caps that looked like they might of been later replacements, either that or they were sourced from a different source than the rest of the caps in this unit for some reason.
