Chris

When I was young and foolish, I removed every bakelite block in a Model 18 and replaced them with terminal strips and new Orange Drops.

Soon after, I learned that the bakelite blocks could be rebuilt - but not usually with Orange Drops. That's when I started using the smaller metalized film capacitors and never looked back.

Chuck is right; they should always be restuffed with new caps.

If I still had that 18 lowboy, I would do it over again, the right way. (I have a small stash of bakelite blocks now for when I have one missing or broken in a set.)

Regarding your second question, 0.15 uF would probably be O.K. but 0.1 uF would be a better (closer) sub.
