You know, even if you got it "working" without replacing the paper and wax caps you would only be setting yourself up for trouble. It wont take to long for one of them to fail and either take out something else in your radio that would be expensive or hard to find, or even worse start a fire when it goes out. Plus you will probably get better performance out of the radio. Changing those 70 year old caps is always the right thing to do.
