It has 1) C12, 4uF for 2nd RF cathode feedback, 2) C49, 10uF for 2nd Det cathode feedback and 3) C39, 10uF for LC power filter for B+ that goes everywhere other than the pushpull output power.
I had some reasonably modern saved axials (a Xicon 4.7uf, a Rubicon and an IC 10uF) I extracted from the radios I restored before, where they were out of place, so I used them; tthsy are all 450 or 500V. I just wanted to use them up; the first two cap can be 25-50V rated.)
Mike;
I hope that all goes well with those electrolytics, I would hate to have to extract the smaller can again if something goes wrong with one of the ones inside. Maybe leave enough of a gap under the tabs rather then peening them over completely so you can get it out again with less drama. Sometimes I worry about restuffing the chassis top electrolytic cans in a set, so I leave a way to get them open without uncrimping the can, if I'm using an electrolytic inside.
