Sounds good Skyscraper, I went to a friends this morning and was able to get the correct 700pf cap and it is now installed in the radio and is working fine so we will be comparing apples to apples so to speak.
I do know about the old plastic material failure the eats up the wire and at this point in time they look ok but you are right that sooner or later it will get them.
