Hey i accidentally dropped a film capacitor on the floor is it still usable. Also can i use the film capacitor like this you see i can't Mount the film capacitor on the rectifier board so my idea is to use a wire from the rectifier board to the 17 uf capacitor and then a wire to the speaker transformer.also can i Mount the 5 uf film capacitors upside down under the PCB.

Film capacitors in radios usually serve either of 3 purposes .
Either its an interstage connection or its for smoothing purposes or its for cathode bypass .
Its possible its for a tone control (if fitted ) but in any case in a radio that operates at RF frequencies it should not be moved far away from its normal position otherwise you can get instability .
Unless you stood on it dropping it shouldn't affect it.
