Paper Capacitors Replacement
#1

I am restoring my wife's Philco 41-290X she just inherited. I finished the cabinet a month ago and have been slowly working on the chassis. I know how to solder and desolder but know nothing about electronics in regards to capacitors and resistors etc. I have read the other posts that deal with similar issues but when I try and search for what everyone says to use I get lost. 

Capacitors, Resistors and Whatchamacallits...Like I said I don't know much about electronics and the foreign language symbols etc. I do know how to figure things out and do what I'm told. 

Parts Numbers

30-4519s
30-4518s
30-4572x                         These range from 200 to 1000 Volts and .003 to .05 What is a compatible swap out of these paper capacitors  
30-4579D
30-4469s


Would anyone be willing to post what I need, maybe a link to the product and or what it looks like. I have resleeved most of the wires I can get to, waiting to do the rest that are soldered with the capacitors. Basically my hold up are the capacitors and whatever else I may need to replace. 

Oh I also need to know what these are and what to replace them with. They are like batteries but have wires coming out of them. I have posted an image of them, they have the plus and minus symbols. http://www.sls-photography.com/radio/Radio2.jpg


And lastly for this post there is a component that that has the part number 32-8120N that I am not sure what it is and if it should be replaced since it looks in bad shape. Picture also added. http://www.sls-photography.com/radio/Radio.png While looking at this image...at the top there is a blue capacitor, which I think is newish, should I leave this since it is not a paper wax capacitor? 


Thanks, 

Shaun
