Trouble IDing Philco Cap Can
#11

I put a .006ufd 630V cap in place of the Micamold.

Below is a picture of the capacitor that was in the can that originally started this post. It's #48 on the parts list but no reference at all to its value. Parts list has its part number as 7774. Part number on the can was 7440-X. It reads about 68pfd now and read about 135pfd when in the can and was shorted at both ends to the can. Irrelevant by all means because it's fried. So short of putting an electrolytic in it I decided to go with a 2.2ufd 630V. Sure hope this works.

Any questions about where it goes in the radio please refer to the beginning of this post. It wasn't wired in where the schematic said it should be.
