Philco 53C questions
#1

I took a look at the chassis and someone was in there already.

There is a Sprague mounted underneath the chassis which I believe is #11 on the schematic and is 10 uF. I have never seen one like this before so do i open it and put a new cap inside it?
I also see #5 but where is this? that many caps inside 1 can?
I see a long list of caps on the schematic but only see 2 blocks, 1 replacement cap (which is a .02 and could be a jimmy rig?), the Sprague, and the 2 Filter cap cans (#30 and #31 but don't see the values on the schematic?).

I'm trying to do it myself instead of running to Mike and never learning but this one is confusing me.

Here are some pics and the schematic:

I know this is a lot but bare with me.
