I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

thanks for that. dont suppose anyone knows a possible source of supply? e bay sellers all want a fortune to mail here for some reason. not that it matters much as old ecaps arent sold by physical size!! i plan on stuffing this with two modern e caps is it useful to increase capacitance? and if so how much?

Use a Twist-Lok style cap (large size) and fit it from the bottom of the chassis flange won't clear from the top. 2X 10mfd @ 450v is fine.
