Hi Ed
Ditto what Planigan and Brian said. Back in the old days, repairmen really couldn't rebuild bakelite blocks the way we do today because the old paper capacitors were physically larger than they are now. So it was often common practice to bridge a new paper cap across the old bakelite block. I've seen this done many times, especially where one terminal of the block has been cut off to get the old block out of the circuit!
