If those are the AC input filters, yes, 0.01uF is what you need, Y-rated.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Is there a later schematic not showing Cap. #32. I must have a later chassis it does not have cap. #32

Just pretend it's not there. It's was to tune the field coil. What I do when I overhaul is replace 29 w/2x 10mfd@450v and 28 w/10mfd@35v. The 35v one goes w/the +side to the chassis and - to the hv c tap.

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!
