Re: 'THAT' Capacitor. What is it?
I don't _always_ replace "that capacitor" - some Philips radios from the 50s and 60s use a ceramic capacitor there, which never seems to fail.
(watch out though for some strange Philips 'things' that incorporate two capacitors and a resistor into one unit - these are often used as IF-decouplers in detector circuits. The resistor-component can be a source of an annoying background 'rustle' sound when it goes intermittent)
