Have an RCA model 262 from 1934 that has a capacitor mounted to the output transformer which is mounted to the 10 inch speaker frame. Looks like it has been hot and want to replace itcap has an RCA part number 69781G2.
Speaker has a part number RL60A-1 on the speaker frame.
I have not been able to find a value for this capacitor.
Anyone have an idea on the value of this cap.
If I put my capacitor checker on it, I just get get weird beeps and erratic readings.

If this C54 (in parallel to a winding of the transformer) is the one, it looks like 0.1uF
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
