I just can't see if you used the chassis ground or another terminal on that strip.
Also, my schematic shows a 7C6 tube for the Detector/Audio stage but I've got a mini tube just like your picture, and the tube is a 50B5. Still looking for a correct schematic. Any idea where I can find one.. I could just use my Tube book and pencil  it in I guess.
As someone else in this thread mentioned.. During the war they used whatever parts were at hand.... and got the job done.. Get 'er done!
I appreciate your time. Fun to bring back an old thread too..

Glad I could help.
I used an X2 type because it goes across the AC line. You might find
this article on safety caps useful.
The schematic I downloaded from
Nostalgia Air shows a 0.04 uF. I chose a 0.047uF (or 0.05uF) as the closest available value.
Sorry, i was never able to find the correct schematic for the 50B5 version.
