1936 RCA 5T
#29

Levi, one of my pet peeves with capacitors that can cause confusion and thus mistakes is the labeling system some use. For example, in the good old days a .05mfd cap was labeled .05, plain and simple. Now, some label a .05 as 503K and so forth. Why they couldn’t simply be straightforward and put .05 on the part, eliminating confusion baffles me. Just a possibility you can look into to be sure you used the right values! Happy hunting.
