Brian,

OOPS, You gotta know one when you see one.

There are some brown tubulars under the IF deck, bypass caps
mostly, but not a black one to be seen.

All the late model ones were brown. In the day they were the latest and 
greatest in plastic technology. The case has just withstood the test of time 
and they let moisture in. Next project will be to replace them.

Some 300 Volt items will work well. Move up one decimal point .01 to .1 and 
such. You just get some more by pass. Cost is not the issue any more. Size 
is not the issue any more. Exact part number is not an issue any more. You 
need a good cap that filter out more than it lets in or does not filter out.

Feel free to re land the ground point. There will be a lot more space under 
the IF deck when your done. If you ever get the RF deck out again replace 
the brown ones in it also. As long as you have to do the work, exercise the 
hard ware to get a clean bond between the chassis and the lug.
