Hi HR, sounds like you've got a good handle on it 
Caps 30 and 32 are in relatively 'safe' locations if they are slightly leaky so don't fret much over them. Can't help on the mystery cap. Its not unusual to find an extra cap tagged on by a serviceman or even the factory to cure some minor ill.
For an antenna all you need is a length of wire. Nothing specific, just as long as possible and preferably outdoors. You'll notice a huge improvement with anything over 20 feet or so.
For "fine tuning" do you mean alignment of the radio? The details are on page 6-38 here.

GL,
Bill
