I will try replacing
that one on the AGC control, then check ESR on all the 'lytics in-circuit to be thorough.
I understand that multi-section lytics can present odd issues such as high impedance in the common ground, resulting in coupling of ripple between stages

. My CTC11 worked OK on its originals until 2008, when it got the bends and I shut it down.
My other CTC11 had all its caps replaced, seldom used but works reliably.
To bridge all the 'lytics while observing pic, I used a 40mf @ 450v but that did not accomplish much. The alternative is to replace all 3 cans' caps*, which needs done regardless.
*I was thinking I could skip that step to see what set gets the "full monty"

first!
