You will likely run into C306 condenser-choke assembly and may wonder what to do. It is a wave trap. There is an article about it here:https://www.philcorepairbench.com/i-f-wave-trap-and-special-capacitor/  I initially left it as is and radio performed fine. I replaced it with a new .01 mfd and noticed no difference. I believe simple replacement with a capacitor of similar value is the generally accepted practice. See photo attached.
