Newbie Cap Question
#4

+1 what Codefox wrote.

Personally, I prefer replacing all wax/paper caps. They are usually leaky anyway, and are not trustworthy. Since some of them are connected to your B+ supply, failure could lead to damage up to and including your power transformer.

It is a good idea to restuff your bakelite blocks. There are several ways to do this described in this site.

Having done a couple of 91s, I recommend you also check your different transformers and filter choke for continuity.
