If you want to shield your new cap, you can get copper foil at a hobby store. Or you might be able to salvage your old foil and reuse that.

Phil,
I remember seeing a few foil wrapped caps in few radio's I fixed years ago too.
I'm finding that over half the resistors in this Garod 12444G are 50 to 100 percent out of tolerance. I've been replacing them as I progress.
