I tested that tar block cap with my Solar CB-1-60 bridge today. The capacitance for each section was OK, but all had significant leakage starting at the lowest setting (around 100 volts).

There's a 2 uF, 0.05 uF and two 3 uF sections with no voltage rating. I guess I'll use some film caps rated at 630 volts to replace all four.
