Atwater Kent paper cap markings
#1

hey guys, ran aground on something. Going through an AK model 708 and doing parts vs schematic checks and finding some wax/paper caps that have 3 digit markings on them.
One has 101 on it and another has 409 on it.
I would think that that's .0001uF and 0.0004uF respectfully.
Doesn't match the schematic values at all. ( I realize that there have probably been several production changes so there could be differences).
I plan on replacing these caps using the printed values on them and probably going to restuff the old ones if I can. A lot of work but I want this thing to be authentic as possible.
Done some internet research on this but not finding what I think is the right information.
Also, Haven't worked on any thing this old as this radio so learning about the old way of doing things.
Thanks.
