the #57 bakelite block is the line by-pass filter and contains twin 0.015uF caps.  They need to be replaced, preferably with two 0.015uF Y2 safety caps. See this info on safety caps.  I suspect the cap you see tacked onto this block was an older repair but I could be wrong so make a note of it and where its located so you can replace it if necessary.  Got a picture of it?  By the way a good practice is to take lots of photos as you work on the radio.  That way you can refer to them as you go along and replace components.  Take more photos than you think you need to especially since this is your first dance.  You always find that you just can't quite see what you want to see on the picture when your trying to put the radio back together  

I'd restuff the bakelite blocks, its not that difficult

Here is a pic. of (Blue one) e-cap on #57.. The pos. goes up to wire wound resistor.. I'm thinking like you with it being a repair guy patching it up. I guess when I replace the caps in the bakelite I shouldn't wire in that capacitor and see how it does. What do you think?

Thanks Ken
