Thank you all very much. Let me ask how did you know it was a y2 rated capacitor?

Deduction my dear Watson. There's only two .006 caps in the set. One is the ac line bypass (this one is the Y2 cap) and the other is the plate bypass for the 41 tube. That one is fine with a regular 630v mylar.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
