OK so it would be safe to leave the original cord intact on the radio then?

Also I've already got 3 of the 8 capacitors capacitors replaced on the radio.

there's one capacitor in the radio that is hidden behind one of the IF Cans that the only way to get to that capacitor is to remove the IF Can and get to the capacitor then, how hard is it to remove the IF Cans in this radio?
