I'm working on the dual speaker section of the 43 and I have a metal case condenser marked 06477.  Based on the schematic I believe this is item 81 part number 05150 which is a .5mfd. I was hoping someone can confirm that replacing this with a .5 mfd is correct.

Thanks for the help

Yep, probably .5 paper. See https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...ondensers/

Not familiar with this placement, looks like a smoothing cap on the output trans or field coil (probably field) of that speaker, not sure. 'C' is the rectifier filament, 'D' is a resistor to the rectifier plate's negative.
