Wonder if that can cap is oil filled? If so, it will not need replacement
unless it leaked. Some older radios had oil filled caps in the round
style can that looks like paper caps of the 40s, 50s, etc.. Is this one
of the older style?

Jim I don't know it the cap is oilfilled...I can't to it unless you reove
the bandswitch and the the RF coils..Very big job..

I once was told that RME did not write an instruction manual for the
RME69
and that the front panel was not labeled. At that time, the owner was
expected
to know how to operate a radio. I dont have a manual but my RME69 front
panel
has no labels.
The capacitors in the "can" were not designed to be replaced. The can and
its
contents were replaced as a unit. Some have been able to "can opener" the
can
and replace the capacitor with a modern capacitor. One should take care
with
the chemicals inside the can. Others on the list may have a better
description.
Good Luck,
