This is the bottom view.
Now this is a good one: this cap, which leaked from both ends, instead of being removed, or at least isolated by cutting wires, was left untouched and fully connected...
And this cap simply soldered in parallel to it in a convenient place.
Some weekend warriors.....
Lesson to everyone, especially those who just start restoring or simply buy restored radios from someone: DO NOT rely on a previous guy knowing what he was doing and actually understanding the principles EVEN if he somehow "fixed" the radio and made it play.
Check, check, and then check again. Only trust yourself.
