>>All other paper caps measure fine, most display more capacity as they should, like 30nF instead of 10nF.
That does not make sense.
To measure fine, a cap should be within tolerance; it does not work as "the more the better".
The best thing you could do is replacing all paper caps and not trying to separate good from bad: there are no good ones there. Good paper caps from that era simply do not exist. Or, if they do, it is considered a miracle and such a cap would be displayed in a local place of worship for people to marvel at.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
