38-116 missing cap
#1

Hey All,
   I'm working on this 38-116 that is a real nightmare from the word go.  When I bought this thing it was about 400 miles away so I asked the guy if had any experience with packing and shipping.  He said he just shipped a radio last week, so I assumed he was experienced.  Well you know what ASSUME is all about and the radio showed up with 1 wrapping of cardboard around it and upside down with the chassis hanging out of the cardboard.  The chassis was bent and 4 of the 5 shafts were broken off.  So my challenge started and I have most of the damage corrected.  I'm working on reattaching the shafts to their appropriate origins while also recapping and resister checking.  While recapping and checking the schematic I noticed my chassis does not have cap #122 which is supposed to be in parallel with choke #119 and attached to 2 of the Ecaps on either side of it.  My chassis has this item missing.  I've checked all the change to the circuits info I could find but nothing mentions this cap. 
   My questions are:
  Is this cap needed?
  If so, what does it do?
  If I add it can I just put across the chokes 2 lugs?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you ahead of time
