Have a couple questions.
Eyeballing this chassis, and have found a mica cap that was apparently added at some point.
It is connected to bakelite block #52 on the parts list(farthest terminal from screw) and to ground.
It was broken in half and taped together with elect. tape.
Leads were loosely attached.
Don't know what value it is, or if it is needed.
Don't see it on the schematics.
Also noticed electrolitics 56 and 57 have 6 and 10's in the copper housings.
Looks like 1 terminal on the bottom of the can on each.
How are these 2 caps wired from the bottom? Not real familiar with these old Philco's.
Schematics don't show both 6 & 10 caps wired seperately.

I am probably just reading them wrong.
I assume I can use 10mfd x 450 volt for all 4 of these?
Will send a pic of the mica cap in question.
