One other thought, are the speakers in the two sets in good shape? Like if you press on the cone evenly is there any rubbing noise?
As for the bypass capacitors, yes they are usually paper caps, there is a large one that goes between the B- and the chassis, in Philco sets there is also a coil in series with it, if this is left out the set will howl and motorboat. There may also be a few others that run between various things and the B-, B- is what some call common negative.
