The weave is almost definitely a bad electrolytic can. Seen it 1000 times in the old RCAs. Probably an 80 uF @ 450 volt section. You can test by taking a tubular 80@450 cap and temporarily clipping it in place across the original, with the (-) connected to chassis ground and the (+) to the suspected can section terminal. That's not a permanent repair though, as you need to remove the old section from the circuit in case it decides to short later, or if it adds value to the new capacitor, causing a tax on the power supply.
