Few if any paper/wax capacitors are any good. Paper/wax capacitors are made of paper that has acid in it left over from manufacturing. They are high reliability parts compared to some of the other components. The parts that go bad in radios of this age are paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors, not tubes. The working voltage is not so critical, just be sure to use the same or higher for the working voltage rating. This is usually a paper/wax capacitor with a very high working voltage rating (maybe 1600 volts or so) located right near the vibrator, usually right underneath it. When you bought a new vibrator back in the day, if you didn't change the buffer capacitor it voided the warranty. If its bad (and yes, it *IS* bad), it will most likely burn up the vibrator. If you don't do anything else, replace the buffer capacitor. But tubes that checked 'weak' on a tube tester? Those aren't going to make any difference at all in 99% of all cases. I don't mean to imply tube testers are completely useless, if they find tubes completely burned out, or if they find shorts, you should probably believe it. Politicians try, but the closest they can manage is a distant second. рџ™‚ДЇor what it's worth, buying tubes because they test weak probably won't help. Ok so the part in the center of the first picture and the little box in the second picture right of the heat riser is where the mesh is located I believe.ДЇixing the radio? Can you solder? If not, now might be a good time to learn. I'll give that a go with removing too for cleaning. That side cover on the driver's side has a flathead screw that's flush with the cover. I'll remove that tomorrow and see what's behind there and snap some pictures and put them on here. There is a round can like shape integrated with the push rod cover. Let's see them greasy fingernails, young'un! рџ‘ЁвЂЌрџ”§ Won't hurt to clean that out with some solvent after 70 years. While you have all that loose, most road draft tubes have a canister filled with metal mesh inside the engine. Airflow across the open end of the tube creates a venturi effect, drawing fresh air in thru the breather, thru the crankcase picking up noncondensibles on the way, and out the tube- where it usually ends up on the bottom of the car or leaves an oily streak in the middle of the highway lane! You'll notice it has an angle cut end under the car. EGR didn't appear till the 70s.ДЇresh air enters the engine thru the breather or oil fill cap, then blowby gases and condensation exit thru the road draft tube. It did the job long as the car was moving. That's a road draft tube for crankcase ventilation.
