Regarding those mica caps in the base of the If tranformer.
Like most of the mica caps, they aren't sealed like the ones we're used to seeing.
They're built in the base of the IF transformer, by means of a mica sheet and silver deposit coating. There's contact fingers, contacting the silver, subject to problems of moisture, corrosion and dust.
