Yes I restuffed it. You might be able to see the electrical tape holding it together.
Also I had the right value for the white cap and replaced it. I also took out the one in the video board, I don't have it. But I'll go to the store tomorrow.
On a side note, I hooked them up to my Heathkit C3 Condensor Checker and both didn't leak at 378v. I found out at 450 it only puts out about 378v.
Other than the big multi section caps most of the capacitors tested good in this set.

It is nice that the tuning capacitor is covered; it should be cleaner than the rest of the chassis.
