Take a look at this photo. I'm sure this view is familiar to someone. You see those caps coming off of those two coils? The third one (to the left of those two) has been removed by the last guy. Since a replacement would be easy enough, (1) Was there a reason to do this? and (2) Since the radio seems to work fine, do I leave well enough alone? And (3) the two remaining are paper caps, .1, with a resistor, 100 ohm, inside and should they be replaced? (The chassis has been recapped.)
