"We don't need no stinkin arrows". Its odd that they painted it in direct contradiction to the arrows. I would have thought 20,000pf which is an unlikely value for a mica cap. But I fully agree that its the 3000pf as indicated by the schematic. Maybe they meant to paint the dots on the top row?

Seems like with dot micas there are more exceptions than rules.
