Don't know much about those Y caps but it sounds reasonable. If you figure 1 amp per 100watts you would be right about 1 amp for your fuse. Be sure to check the plate windings on the RF coils two of mine where open. Not critical about 50t of 32-38g wire. Also the bypass caps (3) with the series resistors. All of mine where very leaky.
My 87 brings back some good memories or me. Back in the mid '60s I was 9 or 10 years old my mom and I bought it at an estate sale. Unfortunately that one is gone,I don't remember where it went but about a year ago I found another 87.
