I bet it was a replacement, maybe someone replaced a buncha caps looking
to solve a problem, and just left the old ones hanging there..... I use to run
across that now and then.... Parts soldered to the old leads on top of
the pc board as well..... Lotsa crazy stuff out there.....

Get some solder wick and remove the end of that one with the green crud on
the leads and see if there is a buncha wire still left on that tube socket.....
If it was cut, and not removed with a soldering iron, then the little wire
is still there.....

Do the other parts look like they easily went somewhere....?
Well then they did it more than once.....
