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?
