All indications are only one paper cap was replaced...the "killer cap".

Yeah noticed the painted tube shields.

The turbine lube makes up for a lot...

The missing RF deck cover ("Utah plate"), the mising Veeder-Root counter cover screws (2 of the 4), the bad orange-peel in the new paint, the my-four-year-old-could-do-better "installation" of the antenna balun, the PL-259 used with coax much smaller than it was intended for, the 3TF7 replacement that is not built into a 9-pin tube base header (presumably, wires hanging off it are used as "pins"), and the extremely unprofessional installation of the SSB adapter.  Look carefully at the photos and you will find more evidence that the seller couldn't be bothered (or doesn't know how) to do things right.
