I've got one. I need to recap it eventually. It still works decently on original caps (I've only given it a few minutes of run time to test it though), performance seemed good for a early post war set (most post war FM sets seem to have weak FM)...It was getting comparable reception to a modern set.
I almost recapped mine, but it's a bit tight under chassis, one of the paper caps serves as a coil form (which would have made me re-stuff that then all the other caps to be consistent), and it works which makes it's recap priority lower than other projects that don't work.
