Yes, C15A-B-C would have been electrolytics; 25 uF, and probably at least 500V as you said since there is no way they could have been 50 volt and lasted for any length of time! Imagine the size of 25 uF 500 volt paper caps in 1937... Icon_eek

I have not yet begun the restoration of my MP VI, but there are three large electrolytic cans mounted on top of the power supply chassis along with the rectifiers, output tubes, and power transformer.

I do not believe that the 0.5 uF caps would have been electrolytics.
