Hello all, and thanks for reading my newbie question.
I'm restuffing Bakelite blocks in a Philco 14 and just tackled part #44 in this Code 122 chassis, a Bakelite block labeled "3615-BM" identified in the parts list as a .1 uf capacitor. Based on this information, I expected to find one capacitor in the block, but I found TWO capacitors. The block has only two openings for interior cap leads. I'm confused by the presence of two caps and of, course, they're not labeled (other than the block itself). Why am I finding two capacitors in a block intended for only one? Were they coupling two caps to arrive at the intended value?
Thank you, in advance, for your replies and insight.
