philco 60B mica capacitor advice
#2

Just go ahead and replace.  The two 110pf caps are in the detector circuit and the .015 is foil/paper cap. It's going to be leaky along with all of other foil/paper caps. In general, the admonition about mica caps applies to ones in rf, IF, and coupling. Not 100% sure the 110pf are mica. When bad it will cause the volume to be low or change at will. They're just annoying.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
