Default What are these boxes on my W-89

Working on tracing where the caps are on the PS on my Westinghouse 89
radio which is supposed to be similar to the Radiola 66.

There are 3 flat rectangular boxes that have one end connected together.
This is connected to by a black with blue tracer wire back to the common
"G" on the capacitor box on the upper right of the picture. There are
two on these boxes connected in parallel and has a pinkish colour wire
which connects to "H" on the cap box. The last one connects to "F" by an
orange wire.


Yep, those are capacitors. That style was pretty common in 20's sets. They
may be in parallel with the originals, or the originals may have been
removed. You should ascertain which of these first, then most likely replace
the lot with new caps.
