Hi

The blistering on that coil is probably from heat.

You are correct in that none of the capacitors in the large black filter can were originally electrolytic - they were wound paper and foil, as you have seen for yourself.

You are going to have a VERY nice radio when you get it finished. Congrats, and thank you for sharing the photos!
