The caps are C12 & C15...
In other Radiola catacomb data these are shown to be 2mf, each.
The schematic seems to indicate that they are not part of the frame but part of or an extension (wired) from the terminal strip. So, may be in the battery box below if need be...
Think, if the ARBE is going below, you can extend a pendant switch to control it, the caps could go across the ARBE and for that matter could even be modern caps as they are out of view even if the the lid is opened. The ARBE provides a noise bypass only on the 135v connection...
Save the ARBE receipt to validate the warranty...
Much of power supply control can be screwed to the floor of the lower cabinet, up to you.
The 2 mf caps are to provide RF bypass.
>>> In this transaction, the parts are FREE. I do not need them to restore a Radiola to OEM, I have a round meter for the test panel and a flat pack rheostat for the volume for the one Radiola 25 test panel.
Forward me reimbursement for the shipping when I PM the USPS receipt.
Not seen in the image, there is a very very faint ghost price of 25 cents on the celluloid bezel of the meter
>>> When the replacement audio transformer was installed, did the correct leads, start and finish of each winding get connected to correct locations? This is important as a transformer can invert the signal and in some designs this can cause a feedback howling that cannot be controlled. FWIK the Catacomb is conventionally connected to the transformers, observing the known color code at the time, but if it howls and the volume control does not work, then one pair of wires needs to be reversed. Did you note colored silk covering to the transformer leads?
