Some people learn from their mistakes, I hope you do. The damage could have been worse.
It doesn't matter how shiny something is, if it is 60 years old, it is 60 years old.

C11 isn't an electrolytic though. It's a .047uF paper cap, which should be changed anyway, but it is my understanding OP is attempting to at least get a picture on the set before completely overhauling it. Predictas are well known to be a challenge to restore and I think it is fair to attempt to get a baseline before going neck deep into unwrapping wire posts, don't you?
