While I haven't posted anything on this subject in a few days, I am still working on the HQ-129-X.
All of the original paper capacitors which had not been replaced now have been.
As for the yellow film caps, I know that I said (in post #2 above) that I may leave most if not all of them alone. But, being the perfectionist that I am, I could not just leave that sloppy work alone. So I'm redoing them. I have to anyway, as I am also replacing all of the resistors. I am reusing as many of the yellow film caps as I can.
I also replaced the volume control. It had been replaced before with an obvious junkbox part. It now has a brand new 250K audio taper control with switch, from Radio Daze. Now that switch snaps on and off as it should.
Photos tomorrow. There is a lot more work remaining to be done on this set, too.
