I believe C219 and C220 are inside the T115 can, but as chrisWA6TV mentioned, little micas inside xfmr cans have been known to go bad, especially the "naked" kind that are uninsulated mica sheets. I replaced some in the audio section of an Admiral set.

My back is just about played out for the day. Tomorrow I will grunt the chassis back onto the workbench and go on a cap-and-resistor hunting expedition.

miniman82 mentioned C209, which I already replaced, but that reminds me -- depending on what schematic I look at, that cap's value is given as 4, 4.7, or 6.8 pf. Here's the C209 that I removed:



I hate the codes on these little dogbone-shaped caps (and I have never found a bad one, but I replaced it anyway, while I was soldering on that terminal). What I had on hand was a 5 pf mica, so that's what I installed. I'm hoping that this code translates as 4.7 pf and that a difference of .3 pf doesn't matter here. If I'm wrong on one or both counts, someone tell me now, and I'll just put the old one back in.

P.S. The resistance across L42 is 10.6 ohms, which doesn't seem outlandish. The schematics don't give a resistance for it, only the notation 12 muh.
