The disc caps were originally paper capacitors. May not run as well. They are in critical circuits, and, may cause problems.
The solenoid powers on B+ when set is nearly warmed up so it won't surge as badly, which, surges can damage parts, and, Dumont knew that. By the way, Most early Crosleys were made by Dumont, or, RCA.
