On my 45F the tuning capacitor sub-chassis is mounted onto the main chassis by 4 bolts. I just finished re-capping the paper caps and bakelite blocks and waiting for the odd ball 6 uf electrolytic to show up at the moment. While I was doing the re-cap I noticed the tuning capacitor sub-chassis is loose and sloppy, the rubber insulators are still intact top and bottom but they must have shrunk with age and caused the looseness. Can I just use faucet washers to shim the subchassis tight near all 4 mounting bolts or should I dis-mantle and make new insulators for each mounting bolt?
