Mike, the Grundig 3198 I restored last spring had 25 paper caps and all were very leaky or way out of tolerance. Most of the caps were ERO and are notorious for this condition. Of course, paper caps that are 60 years old are expected to be deteriorated. Ironic for the Grundig name, you'd think a few would be good.
