I am restoring a Philco 49-901. It is all original EXCEPT that C303 (in Beitmans schematic) has been replaced with a .1uf 600 volt orange drop. The schematic shows an associated coil in series with the capacitor. I recall restoring a 42-xxx Philco which also had this part. In that case I just wound the same number of turns around a new film capacitor (the original wiring was rubber and falling apart). This part is connected between B- and the chassis, in parallel with a 150K resistor.

Does this coil have any real function? If so, does anyone know how many turns of wire I should use (since the part is missing in my radio)?

Thanks
