I should have added that changing to a polarized plug requires re-wiring
the on/off switch. Not needed if the chassis passes the "hot" test. See

Value is not critical, but voltage rating needs attention. I would use a
250v A.C. rated disc ceramic, or else one with a rating greater than
1000v D.C. I would also check (or replace) the resistor R22 and
capacitor C24 as these have probably aged as well.
Next, be sure it has a polarized plug with hot going to the switch. Even
though it is not considered a "hot chassis" radio, hot side should be
switched for maximum safety.
