37-10 mica cap
#1

37-10 schematic calls for 110uuf cap #45.
The cap is mica (broken lead) with 3 dots.
1st dot = blue
2nd dot same color as body of cap
3rd color = yellow.
Could use help to figure out what value to use and what kind.
Thanks

I've seen those colors on a few Philco mica caps. I think it was their own color scheme ? A modern 110pF 500 volt mica will work just fine. 100 or 120 are plenty close enough too.

Blue Yellow was the Philco code for 110pF. See Chucks page on mica cap values.

Wow! Thanks! I'm off and running.
