It has five leads one being a ground the other bath tub caps are long gone except the one mounted on top of the chassis
Crosley was notoriously cheap and did not install a part where it was not needed.
Also, most of the leaky cap values can be found with a 60hz bridge an old school test set that many cast aside for blinking LCD screen digital what-zit do-all lie meter. All but the high end DVM's can deal with a leaking cap and give a value...

Once learned reliance on guesswork and Elmer goes away....

BTW, most of the contents of "box" caps can be installed in the chassis as they are much smaller and can be mounted directly at the point of use. Fact is the chassis is so low gain that long leads to a remote location for bypassing is tolerable.
