OK, this safety cap thing....  I want my sets to be safe if something fails.  Please forgive me if this has been answered 100 times before.  I didn't see any references to it.  

How do I know if I need a safety cap as a replacement when looking at the schematic? 

I have a Philco Jr. 81 and I believe the 0.015uf dual bakelite block needs them from what I read in a thread on Antique Radio site.

But I'd like to know with confidence when I need to apply them, for future restorations. 

Thanks in advance.    Icon_wave
