Noob component question!
#1

I've started restoring the 48-1256 I got last month.  Was making an inventory of capacitors that needed replacing when I noticed the one in the center of this pic:

I'm still learning when it comes to electronics and I've never seen a capacitor with a wire wrapping before.  According to the documentation I've gotten (thanks Squire!), it's a .2uf 400v cap used for line isolation and says to wind the same number of turns around the replacement.  The Service Bulletin describes it as "condenser and choke assembly resonate at 455kc."  

What's this cap for and why the wire wrapping?  What's the best route for me to go in replacing it?  I'm pretty sure the new one is going to be a lot smaller and I'm pretty sure it's not going easy to replace the wrapping.
