I have a similar AM/FM GE Musaphonic which when I tested it with its original capacitors actually worked with no hum. This was the only one of about 2 or 3 radios using this type of caps I've seen in 25 years where the cardboard cap was still functional. I definitely will replace it and the selenium rectifier and paper caps as of course I don't trust them to continue to work!
Maybe some of these were stored in climates that for some reason were more favorable to preventing degredation of the caps.
