At the risk of a violation - In addition to my prior Low AM Volume question, (On a Philco) I have a non-Philco radio with a Numite Condenser Cat. No. AT 8450 reading cap.8 and 450v.  Just to be clear, is this merely an 8mf capacitor?

Radio has a hum and this is the only cap not replaced.  Its a large one and I suspect this to be the issue.

Thank you and my apologies for posting a non-Philco question.....But this hopefully is generic and will be the last non-Philco question I ask.
