Sinatra probably is talking of one of these caps that goes from the output transformer driver tube's plate to the GND.
These are often rated 1.5kV or so. I do not think the rating is necessary, it is done for the case when a speaker can be unplugged while working and create a flash-over. In case when the speaker is soldered in, there is no unplugging.
To me the usual 600V rating would be just fine in such a case.
I saw that in Zenith, Philco, I am sure some other radios have the same.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
