Thanks so much for the info, always learning. I had already checked them and decided to swap them all out, everything gets disconnected restuffing the bakelite caps anyway. Not fully understanding things I was looking at them after removing them to see if the reading was the same and taking a closer look at the percentage of drift, more out of curiosity.
Early on I thought this chassis was untouched, probably because it still had original electrolytics in it (Sprague, not the copper ones, dang), but when I got started I saw that someone bypassed bakelite cap 23 with a 0.02 and in the process shifted around a half dozen resistors. I've had to take it slow and try to be sure that I'm putting things together per the schematic. Pretty happy with things so far, nice to have all of that elbow room in the chassis, easy to work on.
