@Glyphmon, Roy, you are already becoming an expert and a GREAT explanation. Thanks for sharing what you did with our new member in such a clear way!
@Telane 1954, welcome to the Phorum!! One important thing to note is that for C62, the 12 uF cap that connects to the HV center tap, the "Can" of that cap is insulated from the chassis. Roy used new caps that he installed under the chassis. Some people disassemble, hollow out and "stuff" the original caps with new caps. Both methods are acceptable. The one thing to remember is if installing the new caps under the chassis, you must disconnect the original caps. Electrolytic Caps from pre-WWII radios tend to short as they get old.
