Thanks guys, I'll see what I can do. Also what is that "white mold" stuff that is all over some of the early plastics like Bakelite in some of these old radios and TVs, and can it be safely and permanently removed without damaging the plastic?

EDIT: After looking around on the internet, I figured out that the tube socket I was looking at with the loose capacitator, it was actually pin 3 of the 1T4 tube that the capacitator was coming off of, and according to the schematic its supposed to be a .05 MFD and someone installed a .02 MFD in its place (they apparently cut out the old one and j-hooked it without soldering, and the other side was to go to ground) there was also another loose cap in the radio apparently that I just discovered a .1 MFD (which seems to be a replacement because the riders doesn't show a .1 MFD Cap anywhere.) Its looking like someone had picked this up as a project and gave up on it.
