I took the electrolytic cap off to take a photo of it’s values. 

Since I took it off and it probably won’t go back on very easily, can I solder the - connections to one of the chassis lugs that is remaining from the original cap. I will hot glue the old cap back on for looks after.

And yes that paper cap is going.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
