41-285 capacitor
#6

Mike,
Are we talking about a Philco 41-285 radio?  Here's the schematic with the two electrolytic caps contained in the #27 part circled in red.  Sometimes they appear as a single paper tube with multiple leads and since the schematic says the common is black, the 16 uF lead is red and it looks like the 8 uF lead is green it probably is.  Still, you need two separate caps to replace it since the positive leads are connected to two different points in the circuit.  Or am I misunderstanding something?

Here's an example of a 1942 model that had a single paper tube containing 3 separate capacitors.  I was able to stuff in the 3 separate caps as seen in the pictures.  Sometimes those paper electrolytics are impossible to restuff so you just have to wire the new ones in as best you can.  http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread...8#pid35928
