John,
Those replaced caps are the horizontal deflection coupling caps and are always bad. They did take a while to go bad originally which suggest this set was used for quite some time. It's too bad that the original caps are gone as it's quite easy to restuff them with modern 3000V caps. You'll need to find caps of the correct size or cardboard tubes that can be dyed to match to use for restuffing.

The two large caps on the opposite side of the board with the yellow and green heavy wires going between them are the vertical deflection coupling caps are are most likely bad.

Your fine tuning control is working correctly. The shaft is supposed to turn freely. If you look at your picture of the trimmer cap, the aluminum piece on the end is cup shaped. The black rubber piece is attached to the end of the brass shaft that goes through the main tuning shaft and is shaped to fit the cup. To adjust the fine tuning you have to push in on the shaft to make the rubber piece turn the trimmer cap.

The fine tuning shaft can be fairly easily replicated although it's a little difficult to install since it's rather long and you have to remove the trimmer to get it in.
