I can't believe I missed this little critter when replacing the electrolytics. Wasn't much of him left, he crumbled when I removed him.

I've gotten a couple more caps stuffed and have now started on what is likely the most difficult, C-5 and E-1. E-1 is a combination cap and choke that I have never seen before. I'm wondering if it's similar to those Philco caps that have the coil of wire wrapped around them although this one is fully connected into the circuit. Its simply listed as Choke and tubular capacitor (0.05uF, 200v). I won't know if I'll be able to reuse the choke portion until I get it out.
Question: Has anyone every replaced one of these? Is the choke a critical component or do folks just replace the 0.05uF portion?
