Found another paper capacitor, top cut 0.005uf across the output transformer. It's only in the 363 of course being the one with a low impedance speaker.
It's a very thin tube and finding a capacitor to fit inside is not easy so I used four very small 250v 0.047uf in series parallel. Should be enough voltage in reserve, the original is 450v.
Replacing the rotted rubber cables is straight forward. Having no silicone cables I decided to cheat and use PVC despite its appearance.
A couple of resistors have gone high. I decided to shunt them rather than try to find good dog bones. The tiny shunts are hidden behind the originals.
