Many early AC powered TRF sets used paper caps for filtering since lytic technology wasn't there yet. Higher uF paper caps get bigger and more expensive as capacitance increases so many TRFs had less than ideal filter capacitance as a result. Increasing filter capacitance is advisable if mild to moderate hum exists post recap or as a preventative measure now.
