Not to be a wet blanket, but I thought the capacitors inside those couplates were paper -- which might mean that a NOS couplate would be as bad as the one you're replacing. If there's any way to check those caps with a capacitor tester under the right voltage before installing the couplate, that couldn't hurt.
Re the h-v cage, my Predicta is a barberpole and the stuff inside the cage is all quite accessible. Made doubly easy because the cage cover on my set is missing :-) Things may be different on your chassis. I have never worked on one of those.
