I am restoring this model 42-760 radio and I have all the regular caps done and the 40 mfd one but the the other electrolytic canister is not marked but it is grey in color and has one pin with a green wire going to the speaker and another pin with a red wire going to the 40 mfd cap and a blk and red wire going to what looks like another power transformer and also a pin with a green wire which I assume is the ground. Could someone help with the values and which one goes on each pin thanks I have looked at the schematic but could not figure it out
