What is this?
#1

I was starting to replace the paper capacitors in my Philco 46-1213 today.  My first piece I think I made a mistake.  I am as new to this as it comes so if this sounds stupid, please bear with me.  I started by replacing the power cord, that went well.  Next, I went to the closest capacitor (or what I thought was one at first glance).  I took a photo of it then I sniped the leads off close to the cap.  It was then I realized I may have made a mistake.  What I thought was a capacitor with the wax melted out, now I am not sure what it is.  It's hollow inside with a wire wrapped around the outside and covered in wax.  I will attach photos below.  Looking at the schematics, to me, it seems to be labeled L8?  What did I cut out?
