Concerining "restuffing" of the "bakelite" caps...
The bakelite block caps are almost always at least one
of them used as a line bypass cap. This cap must be
either X or Y rated (Y if it connects to the chassis,
even indirectly, or in hot chassis sets, or if connecting
the floating ground to chassis, X otherwise). Even if
it won't fit, then put it outside the block. DON'T use
a "regular" cap in this location.
