Those decouple the RF to prevent oscillation. On my 87 all where leaking badly. What I did was cut the ground wire off of the old cap and solder in a replacement from the top lug and the other to ground. The new caps are small enough to hide under the old ones.
Good playing set when it's all fixed up!
