The line filter caps in the bakelite block can be replaced with safety caps either stuffed in the block or on a terminal strip. It's not difficult to stuff them in the block. Instructions are in the Library. I usually rewire the power switch on the other side of the filter caps so they only have power when the radio is on.

Usually the input ps filter cap is 40 mfd or less but with a choke in there you can use 12 or 16.
