Nix those lead extensions! They will add capacitance and change the tuning of the stage that cap is in. In FM and TV especially lead dress is CRITICAL....Everything (except paper caps) should be undisturbed or tested/replaced maintaining as close to the original lead dress as possible....Otherwise alignment may be needed, and in the worst case alignment won't be enough to fix lead dress discrepancies.
