Mike, great family story to go with that radio. Don't know if this will help but I have put in some caps that were bigger than the paper tube that they needed to go into. In this case it was a safety XY cap. I slit the tube and pushed it in as far as it would go and then when I installed it in the radio I just made sure the ugly side was down so you could not see it. Turned out looking pretty normal in the end.
