Thanks guys for the help in understanding why! I never knew this as I am used to wet electrolytic's. This 511 is the oldest radio I have ever worked on (I have not started on any of my pre 1931 Philco's/RCA's yet). I will remember this critical lesson for all my future pre 1931 radio restorations.

A friend is mailing me some Non-polarized film caps. They will be on their way tomorrow morning. I hope to get them in a few days so we can call this project a wrap!
