A friend of mine told me about the feed back cap. I admit I'd never seen one before. I don't think I can test the caps in circuit, I'm sure I'll have to unsolder one end of each cap to test it. I'd love to leave the caps in place, they "look" fine, but there's no way they're still good. The radio is amazingly clean inside.
DONT RECAP!!! ITS MINT MAN!! TEST THE CAPS INCIRCUIT . I bet they are fine!!
The twisted wires are a feed back cap ... just a few pics! leave it!!

Hi James, the twisted-together wires are known as a “gimmick” capacitor. Probably a couple of picofarads.
@@superhet7281 Yeah, a friend of mine filled me in on that a couple of days after I shot the video. Interesting, I'd never heard of them.
