I wouldn't loose any sleep over the 7A8 filament unless you can use it for a nightlite. It's just the cold resistance of the filament is lower than the rest so it dissipates more power in brightness than the others. When it heats up the resistance rises and filament dims. Such is the life of a fil in a series strung set.
On the 5mmf cap if it's a mica leave it paper replace.
I had one of those sets many yrs ago. Nice clean cabinet design and a good player too.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
