Mica caps are pretty good even at 70 years old, you should be fine leaving them in.

But if there are "buried" paper caps, they can cause some problems. Maybe you should have an expert replace them. Like I said before, your 816K is worth it. Man, they are super radios.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
