Continuing with the recapping process, I found that capacitor C306, which couples the output of the second detector/AVC diode to the high end of the volume control, is rated at 0.01mfd and 1000 volts! I cannot see a reason for this voltage rating. There is no high voltage involved - just signal level audio. Anybody have a guess why this voltage rating would be used? The capacitor is original and has a Philco part number 30-4598. I am planning on using a 630 volt part to replace it.
