Agree with all. Just replace the cap with a plain modern one, maintain original lead dressing, and you'll be fine. There has been much chatter around for a long time about wave trap methods used to mitigate interference from radio navigation beacons (long since obsolete in the U.S.) that operated near IF frequencies. Dunno if true or not.
