I rarely replace mica capacitors. Paper and can caps, definitely. Oh yes, and the bakelite blocks.

In the case of the bakelite blocks, if you do not intend to re-stuff, unsolder the leads vice simply cutting the lug/wires off. This saves the integrity of the block should you someday want to restuff them.

The blocks serve an additional function as "tie downs" for the circuitry under the chassis. Installing new replacement caps should be well thought out. (Ron, that 144 chassis was done during one of my more "erratic" moments).
