I am attempting my first re-capping job on a 1948 Philco 48-200 radio.

I have come across what I think is a melted capacitor (brown tubular item in center of photo). However, (and I am new so I am not sure), I cannot find this on my schematic of the radio, and I do not know what the capactance is for this item. it attaches at pin 6 to the 50L6GT tube and pin 5 of the 14A7 tube. it is in parellel with a resistor but being such a newbie, I don't know what it's resistance is.

If someone could help me out with this, I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

Just added new phot of underside of mystery capacitor.
