Probably originally +/- 20% for caps, resistors likely +/- 10% by WWII time, was +/- 20% earlier.

Dealer's choice.   It won't matter  The tolerance of the original caps probably exceeded the range 0.04 to 0.06....

Good evening All,
 
        Finnaly get this project done. I do haave a question on recapping the receiver. The can caps show as 0.05 uf. I don't have any in house. But I do have a big bag of 0.02 uf 1KV disc caps. So how critical is this value. I can parallel two for 0.04 or three for 0.06.
