I was able to remove the tuning cap on mine and get to that .05 cap by cutting one end of it from the circuit. I left the other side connected since it was hard to get at.

I put a new .05 through the same small hole that one of the tuning cap mounts went through. It was right over where the paper cap was. I was able to solder one end of the new .05 through the hole and the other end I connected to ground. If I did it again I would solder a long enough wire to the new resistor to make soldering that end (grounded) easier as a longer wire would make it easier to tie to a ground point.

The radio played extremely well when it was done.
