Odd that c69/c71 were missing, as they're very visible! Being bolted to the CRT mount.

In the attached photo, it is the top electrolytic capacitor, these were replaced in the 1946 refurbishment, but the original was a double capacitor too.

I assume the original had been removed, and nothing put back in it's place?

I image the lack of it would have caused hum and generally instability in the timebases.
