Zenith more often used the metal can electrolytics in table radios...the cardboard can like that used in your GE and like GE used as an OEM seems to allow the cap to degrade a lot more...I have seen some bad metal can electrolytics too, but they often appear to be more durable.

I would probably replace those black caps with color bands...they tend to be more apt to failure than other types of paper caps.

We found some replacement brand new electrolytics in cardboard cans that are made up to look like the one you have...we ordered a few at our shop but cannot remember who the vendor was.
